The first collection of Ma-oth Hitim [practice of giving Passover food supplies to the needy] was made yesterday. Five congregations contributed $685--a very fine start. It has been estimated that 10,000 pounds of mazoth [unleavened bread] will be necessary to supply the needy.

The committee will accept contributions at Congregation Anshe Knesses Israel. Applications for mazoth will also be accepted there. Needy persons are asked to present their applications as soon as possible.
