Pesach Chesed Tips
Four Easy Ways to Show Chesed During Pesach

 

1) Remember that Pesach groceries are so expensive, it can be a hardship for many families.  Everytime you reach a certain level of spending, for instance, $300, purchase a $30 gift card from the grocery store. Ten days before Pesach, give them to the Rav of your shul and tell him to get them to families in the community who need them. Or, donate to the Pesach assistance program in your community.


2) Invite an older person to your seder or a Pesach meal. Pesach can be a lonely time for seniors who live away from their children. Think about those your know or ask your Rav if there is someone you should ask.



3) Hire someone to help you clean for Pesach. Surely someone you know---a yeshiva bocher, a single mother, or someone unemployed in your community---could use a little extra cash at this time of year. Make him or her feel like they are doing you a favor to spend a Sunday afternoon helping you take down the dishes or polish the silver or set up the extra shelves, and that you'd rather they make the money than someone you'd "have to" hire from the outside.  Besides, maybe it will also be a chesed to your husband's back if someone younger puts up the shelves this year!



4) Baalei teshuva can be lonely during Pesach if their families do not keep the chag. Invite them for a meal and make them feel good about the choices they've made.
