Passover 2026
Bring Joy to a Family in Samaria this Passover!
The Children of Israel were redeemed from the “house of bondage” that was Egypt, during“the month of springtime.” (Exodus 23:15) Indeed, there was no more fitting time of year for the Children of Israel to be rescued from the shackles of slavery. That spring, more than 3,300 years ago, the Children of Israel were not only freed from their Egyptian taskmasters; after hundreds of years of servitude, they were finally granted the freedom to serve God with clarity of mind and spirit!
Since then, the Children of Israel have always marked the anniversary of their miraculous exodus from Egypt at “the appointed time of the month of springtime.” At every Passover Seder, children excitedly ask their parents questions about the unique rituals performed only on the first night of Passover. Responding in celebratory fashion, their parents joyfully put a Biblical scene into action!
Tragically, many parents in Samaria today cannot afford to hold a festive Passover Seder for their children. Struggling to make ends meet, these needy families face mounting stress and hardship as Passover approaches. To celebrate Passover properly, everyone MUST have the means to purchase matzah (unleavened bread) and other strictly unleavened food products.
Unfortunately, foods that are kosher for Passover are necessarily even more expensive.
The families raising children with special needs are also especially overwhelmed at this time of year. Schools throughout Israel typically close the week before Passover, leaving parents to juggle the demanding task of thoroughly cleaning their homes of leavened products while simultaneously providing their children with the care, attention and support they need. For too many families, such a responsibility is nearly impossible to manage alone.
This Passover holiday, YOU can make it possible for struggling families in Samaria to hold a Passover Seder, allowing them and their children to enjoy the Passover holiday like all other families! YOU can also give children with special needs the opportunity to participate in an enriching pre-holiday camp program, ensuring that their loving and devoted families have the time and space to fully prepare themselves and their homes for Passover.
