Dear Friend;
A woman in Geula enters the makolet. She doesn’t have the luxury of carelessly adding a box of cookies to her shopping cart — she can only eye them wistfully. All she can buy are some potatoes, beans, and eggs. Even chicken for Shabbos is beyond her financial means. She wishes she can buy some peppers for her children; she is well aware that they need the vitamins, but how can she even think of adding peppers to her cart when she already has an enormous outstanding balance at the grocery? She is too embarrassed to face the grocer!
This is where Chevra Mezonos comes in. Bnei Torah families can now either receive coupons to purchase food, or they can pick up food packages for Shabbos. These packages contain items such as fish, oil, sugar, fruits, vegetables, baby formula, candles and many more essential food items for the family. In addition, there are much larger distributions to hundreds of families before Pesach and Rosh Hashanah.
With your generosity, Chevra Mezonos is able to provide hundreds of families with basic food staples Erev Shabbos and Yom Tov.

Our father, Reb Yecheskal Shraga Gottehrer zt”l, was always involved with real mesiras nefesh in helping others in need. Forty years ago, he decided to shoulder a weekly food distribution in Yerushalayim to help large, needy families, and that is how Chevra Mezonos came to be. Our father totally immersed himself to collect funds for this important cause, and we are making this auction le’ili nishmaso. Our mother, Mrs. Rochel Gottehrer, a"h who was niftarah a few years ago was just as much a partner in this tzedakah project. Their goal in life was helping others, and the success of this project will be a most fitting tribute to their memories.
On behalf of all the families YOU support – and on behalf of the many, many children who can now eat tasty, nutritious meals, Thank you very, very much!
In the merit of sustaining Bnei Torah families in Yerushalayim, Hashem will surely bless you and yours with bountiful brochos, simchos, good health, and the continued ability to always be on the giving end.
