nice gesture

Its such a nice gesture, but I think most families would prefer help with their rent or mortgage for Pesach. I wish the Rabbanim would be more involved in this most pressing issue. There are so many yeshiva families who live and work here and love it here, but are being forced out because of the rent and housing costs. Most of Crown Heights is already on Food Stamps, so instead of helping with food, help with rent and mortgages!

The one thing has nothing to do with the other

So because rent is ridiculous we should also not have food? Many of us do NOT have food stamps or medicaid or section 8 and every penny that doesn’t go to food can go to rent and insurance premiums.

I don't have food stamps

Any money I save on food can go towards my rent. This is hundreds of dollars worth of food for Yom tov. That’s a HUGE help for many families.
Please don’t knock this distribution. If you don’t need or want it you don’t have to take, but why take it away from the many who do want and need?

Is available to these organizations for food distribution to help the community. Help with rent is a nice idea, but it isn’t funded….
good Yom Tov!

Thank you!
