Organizers and Donors of Maos Chittim Fall River, Massachusetts refers to the dedicated individuals involved in collecting and distributing funds for Maos Chittim, a traditional charity supporting those in need for Pesach, in the Jewish community of Fall River, Massachusetts. Their efforts ensure that all members of the community can properly celebrate the festival of Pesach.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, addressed a letter to the esteemed activists and donors of the Maos Chittim project in Fall River, acknowledging their charitable participation before Pesach. The Rebbe expressed gratitude and extended blessings to the donors, organizers, and their families, emphasizing the spiritual significance of their work.
The Rebbe highlighted the connection between Maos Chittim and the declaration at the Pesach Seder, "Kol Dichfin Yeisei Veyeichol, Kol Ditzrich Yeisei Veyifsach" ("Let all who are hungry come and eat; let all who are in need come and celebrate Pesach"). He explained that this proclamation, made before beginning the Seder, reflects the communal responsibility to provide for those in need, which in turn brings merit and the true experience of Zman Cheiruseinu (the time of our freedom).
The Rebbe further taught that through acts of tzedakah—and particularly through Maos Chittim—one not only helps others but also brings blessings and liberation from personal material and spiritual worries. He concluded with a prayer that, through these merits, the community and all of Israel would soon experience the ultimate redemption through Moshiach Tzidkeinu.
