UPDATE: TLS received this letter from Hagaon Rav Chaim Peretz Berman Shlita in support of those helping with Pesach funds for the Steipler and Reb Chaim ZT”L’s children and grandchildren (see below).
As of today, Friday, Erev Shabbos Hagadol, approximately 65 families still do not have BASICS for Pesach. $500 will support an entire family for Yom Tov!
UPDATE: One of the final letters Rebbetzin Kanievsky A”H wrote – in support of those helping with funds for the Steipler and Reb Chaim ZT”L’s children and grandchildren – giving a very strong Bracha to all who assist (see below).
When the Rebbetzin was alive, she would personally collect for these families, and Rav Chaim ZT”L himself would distribute the funds.
UPDATE: TLS has spoken with the family of the Reb Chaim ZT”L, who thanked all those who assisted thus far, and stated there are still over 100 families who need basics for Pesach.
The family also stated that when the Rebbetzin was alive, she would personally collect for these families, and Rav Chaim ZT”L himself would distribute the funds.
ALL donations are going directly to the families.
Original information:
With Pesach approaching, a renewed campaign is underway to provide critical financial assistance to hundreds of families connected to the legacy of Rabbi Yaakov Yisrael Kanievsky ZT”L and Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky ZT”L.
Organizers say they have the ongoing responsibility and privilege of supporting nearly 500 families who live with extreme financial restraint throughout the year. As Yom Tov expenses mount, the need becomes significantly more pressing, with basic necessities often out of reach.
To help alleviate this burden, the initiative distributes approximately $500 per family ahead of Pesach, an amount described as making a substantial difference in allowing recipients to prepare for Pesach with dignity.
