Too many families in our community face financial hardships that overshadow the joy and celebration of the holiday. Together, we can change that. Last year, your generosity helped raise over $225,000, providing matzah, wine, and other holiday essentials to families in need.

Together, we can bring hope, freedom, and redemption to thousands in need. | | | |  AROUND THE OU | |  | | OU Kosher | | Feastables Chocolate Goes Kosher. Should Yours? | By: Natasha Spencer-Jolliffe
