CSSY is here to help Crown Heights families in Tishrei

Chevras Simchas Shabbos V’Yom Tov (CSSY) has been a lifeline to Crown Heights families for decades, ensuring that no one in need has to face the Yomim Tov.

The month of Tishrei is approaching, Benji’s sharesCSSY Director reflects on the growing number of families reaching out for help. With Rosh Hashanah now behind us, CSSY is working tirelessly to ensure that every family in Crown Heights can celebrate these special days with dignity and joy. With the rising cost of living, the need is greater than ever.

CSSY was founded with a specific mission inspired by the Rebbe’s words. The Rebbe emphasized that Yidden must be supported throughout Tishrei. The Shimshon Stock heeded the Rebbe’s call, and CSSY began to ensure that every family in Crown Heights could celebrate each Yom Tov with dignity and simcha. This mission continues today, evolving into a critical line of support, helping hundreds of families year-round struggling with basic needs, from food for Yom Tov tables to clothing for children and other essentials.

Now, as Tishrei approaches, the need is greater than ever. Food prices have skyrocketed, and with three sets of three-day Yomim Tovim this year, many families are feeling the pressure. Whether it’s a single mother struggling to survive or a large family struggling with rising costs, CSSY is committed to saying “yes” to every request. This can only be possible with the help of the entire community.

Thanks to the generosity of the Crown Heights community, CSSY has provided hundreds of families with the opportunity to enjoy Yom Tov meals without worry for decades. As CSSY prepares for Rosh Hashanah, your support is essential to achieving this mission. As Benji Stock says, “Your donation, whether it’s 180, 360, or any other amount, will make a difference.” By partnering with CSSY, you can be a part of this incredible mitzvah, helping to ensure that no family in Crown Heights goes without this Yom Tov.

“We have over 400 applications from families needing help this Tishrei,” she says. “These aren’t just numbers; they represent real people with real struggles. They could be your neighbors, family or friends. Work with CSSY so these families can sit down to Yom Tov meals with simcha and peace of mind.”
