I want to thank you for the wonderful chag<\/i> we enjoyed thanks to you, for the absolutely perfect Seder night meal, for the yomtov <\/i>and chol ha’mo’ed<\/i> meals, for the warm heart that was evident in every box we opened…<\/p>\n

For five months, we have been in and out \"\"of hospitals with a child who became ill with the dreaded disease, cancer. For five months, our home has maintained a minimal semblance of sanity, only thanks to Ezer Mizion’s remarkable volunteers. Five months during which your staff has served as a listening ear, a guiding hand, and a boundless heart that gives and gives and gives some more…<\/p>\n

“Making Pesach” is not a simple task in any home, and it gets much more complex in a home that has not been functioning normally for five months running and is still doing shifts at the oncology ward 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n

We didn’t know where to start. We never dreamed that there would be a Seder here this year. When we received your confirmation<\/a> that food was “on you,” a huge stone rolled off our hearts. We knew that whatever is in your hands will be done the best way possible.<\/p>\n

And that is exactly what happened! The abundance, the taste, the variety, the freshness (in the middle of the week, we received another fresh delivery<\/a> of food). Above all, we felt the dedication invested into every single item so lovingly and esthetically packaged.<\/p>\n

So many volunteers are partners in this mitzvah that we thought the best way to reach them all is through thanking you publicly in this newspaper public opinion section. We want to personally thank all the volunteers who cooked in their homes, all the volunteers at the central kitchen, and all the drivers<\/a> who brought the cartons laden with all the delicacies to our doorstep.<\/p>\n

May you be blessed with an abundance of health and nachat<\/i>, and may Hashem fulfill all your heart’s desires for the good, Amen!<\/p>\n
