As a follow-up to previous posts on the topic of "Mi K'Amcha Yisrael"
here and here
I read (Mishpacha magazine) that a Cleveland benefactor came up with a fantastic chesed idea for families traveling on the afternoon and evening of bedikas chometz, when their car is chometz-free and everyone is hungry. He, together with others, picked a location between Lakewood and Cleveland on the side of the highway and set up a huge roadside barbeque where travelers going in either direction could stop for a hot meal.
There was no cost for the meals; rather, donations were made to Cleveland's Matan B'Sayser fund. This year, there was also a food stop located on the route between Toronto and Detroit.
The news item says 1100 people enjoyed hot meals between 1 and 10 pm, there were minyanim for mincha and then maariv, and when rain threatened, two bachurim hurried to the nearest Walmart and bought tents.
Quite impressive!
shows what achdus can accomplish
