Pesach for Grushos and Agunos - Yad Eliezer

Clean the house, purchase clothing for the coming season, buy matzahs, wine, meat and chicken, and of course take care of the children who are on vacation. It's a lot for mother to have on her shoulders. Especially when the mother is also the only father that her children know.

There are about 200,000 single mothers living in Israel today.

It's not easy to be alone.

Shabbat alone, Pesach alone. Whether the children are sick in bed or celebrating a birthday, single mothers have nobody with whom to share either the joys or the burdens. And who will head the Pesach seder if there is no father at home?

If that's not enough, add the stigma of being a grusha or an aguna. Add the pain of knowing that every time you leave the house, someone will look at you and wonder what went wrong, why your husband left you all alone.


This Pesach Yad Eliezer is going the extra mile to give grushos and agunos the means to celebrate Pesach. A $40,000 matching grant was donated, and the matching funds have already been raised, meaning that a total of $80,000 will be distributed to single mothers to allow them and their children to celebrate Pesach with joy.
