The Stock family in Crown Heights is inviting the community to visit their porch on Purim day and see the famed CSSY charity box.
Famously held by R’ Shimshon Stock, the late and beloved founder of Chevra Simchas Shabbos V’Yom Tov (CSSY), the box will be stationed on Purim day, Thursday, at 593 Montgomery Street. Kids who visit will receive a special treat.
Shimshon and his wife Martha OBM served the community for over 31 years with great devotion to the needy and dedicated their lives to bringing joy and assistance to hundreds of families in Crown Heights.
CSSY, initiated by the Lubavitcher Rebbe and headed today by Benzion Stock and Abe Moskovits, continues the couple’s legacy, discreetly providing funds, food and support 365 days a year.
Purim marks R’ Shimshon’s yartzeit, and the family is calling on residents to visit the Stock porch on Purim and donate. “We know Shimshon will be thrilled to see you there,” they say.
“All tzedakas go towards the much needed Maos Chitim fund which begins 30 days before Pesach. Unfortunately the needs have been increasing… Please stop by and help make someone else’s Simcha increase.”

And I was so far away from home They were real true good jews, no nastiness, no nothing just good kind people and I will never forget them ever, or the way Shimshon would call out to Bengy across the street. Gd gave me good memories of crown Heights, Thank you Reb Shimshon and Lady Martha,… Read more »

When I was a bachur in Yeshiva Tomchei Temimim I had the privilege of spending many Shabosim with the Stock family. They changed my life . The Chesed, Ahavas Yisroel and Hachnasat Orchim had such impact on me that it changed my life. I personally saw and witnessed how much they cared. They were like the characters that we read about in Chasidisher Stories except this was living and happening in front of my very being. Shimpson and Martha as well as the entire family are the perfect example of how one should conduct out lived as real chasidim. May… Read more »
