The fundamental teaching. . . . We Jews have known poverty, degradation, ostracism, dislocation, oppres-
sion, and fear. The story of Passover, above all, is meant to teach us to reach beyond ourselves to those who
need our help - at Passover, and throughout the year.
Tzedakah: Justice. . . . Our people have thoroughly embraced this teaching of Passover, in our thoughts, and
in our deeds. One of the most identifiable social markers of Jewish life is our commitment to Tzedakah: the
performance of charity out of our belief that it is our sacred obligation as Jews. The commandment of our To-
rah: Tzedek, tzedek tirdof: “Justice, justice you shall pursue,” guides us in our commitment to providing for
those in need on an ongoing basis.
Annual Passover Appeal. . . . As I do each year in this spirit of tzedakah, justice, once again I invite you to
join me in performing this great mitzvah by contributing to the Annual Passover Appeal, conducted each year
by the Federation’s Joint Passover Association and the New York Board of Rabbis. This annual appeal is a
modern adaptation of the centuries-old tzedakah practice of Ma’ot Chittin. This was a fund collected by each
community to help those in need to buy wheat for matzah and other Passover supplies. The rules of the fund
were simple: all those who did not need to take from it had to give to it. Our own Passover Appeal is used for
precisely this same purpose: to buy Passover food for the tens of thousands of our Jewish sisters and brothers
right here in the New York area, who are alone and in need. The chaplains of the New York Board of Rabbis
work tirelessly throughout the year to help those in need, and particularly at Passover by distributing Pesach
Packages to our fellow Jews: in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, mental health and developmental fa-
cilities, and shut-ins.
Our profound gratitude. . . .Each year I am overwhelmed by the generosity of our congregational family at
Union Temple in donating to this Passover Appeal, and I join in performing this sacred obligation with you.
Please send your checks to the temple, made out to “Union Temple.” In the note on the bottom please
write “Passover Appeal.” We will then draw up collective checks and forward them to the designated of-
fices. On behalf of the Federation and my colleagues at the New York Board of Rabbis, I offer my deepest
gratitude and respect for your kindness in participating in this appeal. This is what Jewish community is all
about.
As always, all the Goodmans wish you and yours a very sweet and joyful Passover season.
A Ziessen Pesach.
