New clothing has become an essential part of the Yom Tov season for most children, but the yesomim from Buneinu and Bnoseinu unfortunately come from households where such expenses are unaffordable. A dedicated fund was founded to help outfit the children so that they don’t further suffer by being different than their peers.

This season, a group of volunteering women from the community undertook to raise the money necessary to provide the children with new clothing. To protect their dignity, each child received a gift card that could be used at a number of prominent retailers to shop to their heart’s content. The initiative was marked with success and ensured that no yasom or yesomah had to go to shul feeling inferior during the Yamim Noraim and days of Sukkos.
