A Really Happy Yom Tov
Shopping for the yomim tovim in Ramat Beit Shemesh Aleph is everything but routine. The Kupa shel Tzedaka creates an unbelievable, cost-price, streamlined communal service with tremendous planning, technical expertise and devotion.
The Kupa manages seasonal sales of hundreds of basic and quality products at cost price ,these include: wines, meat, poultry, disposable dishes, spices, oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables and more.
However, this already incredible scene hides an invisible layer of discreet giving. The needy of our community have made their orders and are receiving their goods alongside everyone else and according to special arrangement with the Kupa distribution committee they can bring home their yom Tov needs with dignity, -some or all of which is gratis!
Side by side, in full spirit of the chagim, those who can help others and those who are in financial strains, benefit from this remarkable feat of logistical engineering in our neighborhood.
Indeed the Yom Tov has already begun at home when the cupboards are full and the kitchen is in full activity!
Every erev Pesach, a stranger who comes into the neighborhood would rub his eyes in astonishment not understanding what has happened to this peaceful neighborhood. An entire street is closed and becomes a logistical distribution center, housing huge trucks, refrigerated haulers, garbage compressors, forklifts, hundreds of volunteers and thousands of pallets. Gut Yom tov!
