Financially strapped Jewish families in Crown Heights have received generous support ahead of the 8 day Pesach holiday.
Some $60,000 in groceries, including 650 cases of fresh fish, chicken and meat, were distributed this week by the yomtov fund, a local charity which helps individuals and families year-round.
Those coming out last week to receive the goods for Pesach were met by cold and rainy weather, but also the warm and welcoming arm of Mrs. Devora Scheiner who runs the fund out of her home on Montgomery Street.
Mrs. Scheiner made a speech in which she dedicated the event to the merit of Mrs. Rashi Minkowicz obm and Mrs. Rivkie Barber obm, two Shluchos who recently passed away.
A full breakfast spread was set up by Scheiner and her volunteer friends, with special treats for the children.
Donate today to the Yomtov Fund.

Thanks a lot , Mrs Scheiner , for letting many people around to have a Freilichen and Kosher full course Passover meals .
I wish I had a just a little bit of your love and empathy for others and your drive to do something about it! may you continue to go from strength to strength!
I can personally attest to the mammoth job that Mrs Scheiner takes upon herself every year with this incredible pesach project. The amount of time and effort necessary is mind boggling when one contemplates the fact this job is done by one person. Devora, as donors to your cause, we know that your work is never over, and all year round it is in the forefront of your mind. May Hashem give you the koach to continue to make His world a better place, one donation at a time.

Mrs. Scheiner you’ve done Montgomery Street proud. And we are especially grateful for your dedicating the packing in memory of my sister Rivkie A”H. Doing chessed on her behalf helps us turn our sadness into positive energy. May Hashem bless with with Koach and funds to continue to help those in need – and may fewer members of the tribe be among the needy. Thank you!
