Help Us Prepare for Pesach
The Mitzvah of Kimcha D’Pischa / Maot Chitim
Pesach is a time of freedom, joy, and faith.
Every Jewish home strives to prepare for the Seder with matzah, wine, and the foods required for the festival.
For generations, Jewish communities have upheld the sacred mitzvah known as Kimcha D’Pischa or Maot Chitim — ensuring that every household can celebrate Pesach with dignity.
This ancient custom allows those who are able to help those who need assistance preparing for the festival.
Your support helps us prepare our home for Pesach while continuing our work of Torah teaching and spiritual guidance.
The Torah Value Behind This Mitzvah
The idea behind Kimcha D’Pischa reflects the spirit of the Haggadah:
“Let all who are hungry come and eat.”
Our sages taught that before Pesach, communities collect funds to ensure that everyone has what they need for the festival.
This custom is mentioned by many halachic authorities, including:
- Moses ben Maimon – The Rambam
- Shulchan Aruch – Rabbi Yosef Karo
- Mishnah Berurah – Rabbi Yisrael Meir Kagan
who emphasize the importance of helping others prepare for the festival.
Through this mitzvah we help bring the joy of redemption into every home.
The Rema (Rabbi Moshe Isserles) – Orach Chaim 421:9 – writes that there is a custom (brought at the beginning of Yerushalmi Bava Basra) to give Tzedakah to the poor to enable them to have all their needs for the Yom Tov of Pesach in a respectable manner.
