We can’t replace their father.
But Nachzik Chazak will always be there
when they need it most.
Nachik Chazak.
Providing simcha and support to widows and orphans.
As an almanah, she has her own four questions to ask:
Who will kasher my kitchen for Pesach?
Who will take the kids out on Erev Bedikas Chametz so I can finish cleaning?
Who will lead our seder, search for the afikomen and give the kids their presents?
How will I feel like a queen and my children like princes at our seder table… when our husband and father’s seat is empty?
When there’s no Tatte to ask the
"Mah Nishtanah" to…
It’s up to US to answer their questions.
.
When more than money is needed:
A Nachzik Chazak steps in with hands-on support.
For an almanah, the challenge of making Pesach is not just how she will pay for it all.
Throughout the year, these heroic women hold themselves and their families together while managing to hold their heads up high.
But make Pesach alone? With little children at home?
At Nachzik Chazak, we understand the unique challenges faced by widows and orphans.
That’s why we’ve developed our special Pesach assistance program.
Beautiful seder plate
delivered to every family. So that we can take one thing off their “plate,” while adorning their seder table like a queen’s.
Afikoman Presents
No, we can’t replace their father’s loving search for the afikomen. But we provide every child in the family with an exciting, lavish afikomen present – so that they, too, can experience the joy of yom tov.
Kitchen Kashering
We send volunteers to their homes to do the koshering jobs that their husbands used to, and make their kitchens fully ready for Pesach.
Major Erev Bedikas Chametz extravaganza
Children look forward all year to our spectacular pre-Pesach day of fun and entertainment. We rent out an amusement park or other exciting attraction, and give the orphans a day to remember – while their mothers can clean with peace of mind. Includes transportation and exciting gifts and prizes.
Kimcha D’Pischa
We provide food packages with all of their yom tov needs: meat, chicken, fish, matzos, etc. In addition, we sponsor catered meals or hotel stays for orphaned families who are unable to make Pesach.
All food goes to needy families of widows and orphans – Kimcha D’pischa l’mehadrin!
Clothing Vouchers
Widows receive vouchers to outfit their family for yom tov in the most mechubad way possible. The specially designed store vouchers look exactly like credit cards, so she can make her purchases with her head high – not like a nebach, but like the hero that she is.

"וכשהוא אוכל ושותה חייב להאכיל לגר ליתום ולאלמנה"
Supporting widows and orphans is part of our Torah mitzvah of simchas yom tov!
