April 2011 - Congregation Beth Am

Our tradition teaches us the importance of tz'daka. What a
wonderful and lasting way to commemorate a birthday,
anniversary, yahrtzeit, recovery from illness or hardship, Bat or
Bar Mitzva, wedding, new baby or other occasion! Or give just
because... !

MA’OT HITTIN: THE MATZA FUND
It is an ancient custom to make a special solicitation of funds before Pesah to help those in need. While charity is a mitzva at all
times, it was felt that on Pesah particularly, no one should go hungry. We continue this custom today by contributing money that
will enable others to celebrate Passover in a manner befitting one who is no longer a slave.
