With Pesach just around the corner, many families and individuals are experiencing anxiety about the significant costs of celebrating the holiday. For them, celebrating Pesach with dignity depends on the support of the community.
The ancient tradition, codified in halacha, to help those in need with Pesach expenses is known as Maos Chitim—literally, “money for wheat.” Every Jew has a role in this mitzvah: either to give, or to receive.
To make this easier, PesachAid.com is a free, easy-to-use directory of Maos Chitim and charitable funds featuring both local Crown Heights organizations and resources from around the world.
Whether you’re looking to give or to receive, the site makes both simple:
Donate: Direct, clickable links to contribute all in one place.
Receive: Apply for Pesach assistance with clear, clickable application links, deadlines, and contact information—no searching required.
The directory currently includes several Crown Heights and community-wide organizations. To be added to the directory, email: [email protected]
Spread the Word
Share it: Send it to friends, family, and your WhatsApp groups. One forward can help someone DONATE or RECEIVE.
Print it: The site is formatted for clean 8.5X11 printing. Hang it in your shul, school, or office — so even those offline can access it.
May we all merit a Pesach of dignity, joy, and true freedom.
Please DONATE or RECEIVE PesachAid.com
For both donors and recipients alike.
Thank you for making this known to the public. Such a big emphasis is placed on giving Maos Chitim.
Many families can use assistance and don’t necessarily know where or how to apply. The one who put this together really thought this through by giving clear instructions how to donate AND apply (if needed).
Thank you,
