Ma'ot Chitim — As always, we encourage everyone to contribute Ma’ot Chitim donations which can be distributed to local people in need in an effort to help them with their Pesach needs. Select “Rabbi’s Discretionary Fund” from https://www.darcheinoam.com/donate.
Meals for families impacted by Covid-19 — We are looking to help ease the burden of those families with a family member impacted by the virus . To contribute, select “Chesed Fund” from dno.am/donate. Please email/contact Elaine Kaufman (elaine.kaufman521@gmail.com) or Ronna Adler (adlerronna@yahoo.com) so they can coordinate the efforts or to volunteer.

Chametz & Kelim Sale Forms
The form this year is online only and the latest possible time for the mechirat chametz form to be filled out in order to be included in the sale is Monday night, April 7 at 11:59 pm. Please do not wait until the last moment to ensure that your form is included.
Additionally, the Bet Din of America created a form to allow individuals who do not feel comfortable utilizing a kelim mikvah during the COVID-19 pandemic, to sell kelim to a non-Jew and borrow them back to use for themselves. Since kelim owned by a non-Jew do not require immersion in a mikvah, this process allows for the use of the kelim without immersing them. This form is due by April 1.
community whatsapp group
We have created a “Darchei Noam Community” WhatsApp group to send out Torah and resources from Shira and Rabbi Donath that would be beneficial for the community. Additionally, this will be a central location for the Rabbi to notify the community of local needs.
please patronize local establishments
Our local stores and restaurants are still open and need our support in these difficult times. The following stores offer delivery service: Kosher Express, Mashu Mashu, and Zevy’s Pizza. Food Showcase is also offering 10% off and free delivery for orders over $150. There’s a small delivery charge for smaller orders. You can email your shopping list using the code Pesach 2020 to yankee@food-showcase.com. Other establishments may offer curbside pickup to minimize contact. Petaks/Five Star is offering a full service of gourmet meals delivered to your homes (petaksfood@aol.com).
