English Translation:

Rosh Chodesh Adar, 5761

How great and how wondrous are the charitable deeds of the chessed organization Ezras Yisrael. This organization was founded by the young kollel men of our holy yeshiva, Mesivta Torah Vodaas. Their work is performed with truth. They assist distinguished talmidei chachomim - Torah scholars who suffer from poverty, as well as those who cannot properly support themselves. They arrange support for these people honorably and nobly.

The support of the poor is closely linked to the reading of the Megillah. It is therefore right and proper that the representatives of the above-mentioned organization [Ezras Yisrael] be welcomed cordially, with open hands and generosity.

Those who do so will be able to fulfill the mitzva of matanos l'evyonim, gifts to the poor, because the gabbaim - the delegates of the organization - will distribute the assistance Purim. Everything will be done according to halacha.

As in the days of Mordechai and Esther, may we be deemed worthy of a great salvation, for us and for all of Klal Yisrael, with miracles and chessed for all of the world to see.

HaRav Moshe Wolfson
