From now until shortly before Pesach, we will be collecting money for the mitzva of Maos Chitim to help the Gush Katif expellees with their Pesach needs. All of our donations, earmarked for “GK-MC” will be used to help provide Discount Vouchers for all the expellees to purchase food and their other Pesach needs from stores which are operated by Gush Katif expellees.

The same vouchers will be distributed free of charge to at least 250 special families in amounts as per the communities’ leaders’ understanding..

Since these vouchers will be used exclusively in stores operated by Gush Katif expellees, our donations will have a double value (2 mitzvahs in 1), both helping the needy and unemployed families from Gush Katif purchase their Pesach needs and helping some of the new businesses of the expellees who are struggling mightily to make a living.
