The Rav Blessed the Shmura Matzah and Wine for the Seder Night - The Orphans Rejoiced on Pesach

On the eve of the holiday of Pesach, just a few hours before the time for Bedikas Chametz (the search for leaven), R' Yehuda Kadosh, CEO of the 'Yakirinu' organization—which assists widows and orphans in the Shuvu Banim community—entered the inner sanctum. He brought with him hundreds of kilograms of Shmura Matzah and hundreds of bottles of grape juice for the Arba Kosos (Four Cups), which are distributed every year on the eve of Pesach to families of widows and orphans in our community.

Morinu HaRav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, who holds the cause of widows and orphans very close to his heart, came out of his room specifically to bless the matzahs and grape juice designated for distribution to dozens of families of widows and orphans.

During the gathering, the Rav inquired with the organization's CEO, R' Yehuda Kadosh, about the situation of the orphans and widows in the community. He strengthened him to continue the blessed activities of the 'Yakirinu' organization.

On the eve of Pesach, the matzahs and grape juice for the Four Cups were distributed to dozens of families. It is impossible to describe the immense joy of the orphans and widows upon receiving the Kimcha D'Pischa (Passover charity provisions) that they so desperately needed. This was especially true this year, as the eve of Pesach arrived after about a month of war, when pockets were already empty. This Kimcha D'Pischa served as a true lifeline for the families of the orphans and widows.

But above all, when they learned that Morinu HaRav shlit"a had personally blessed the matzahs and grape juice they would be eating and drinking on the Leil Shimurim (the guarded night of the Seder) this year, their joy was magnified sevenfold.
