Peanut butter and jelly for Shabbos – and so much more.
Your family enjoys the blessings every
Shabbos, week after week. Now, share
that blessing with your neighbor.
“As we pay off medical
debts, our children
can still enjoy their
Shabbos nosh.”
I am a high school teacher. My
husband is a second seder Rebbe.
Baruch Hashem, we’ve always been
able to make ends meet — even
when it required some creativity.
But when our youngest daughter
required out-of-pocket medical
expenses, debt ballooned, and our
carefully constructed budget
suddenly became impossible to
manage.
Tomchei Shabbos used to be
something that we just knew about.
Now, it’s become a lifeline. And as
we slowly repay our debt, knowing
that our children will enjoy their
Shabbos nosh is a tremendous
comfort.
Thank you from the bottom of our
hearts. We pray to one day be able
to pass the kindness on to others.
