Misaskim Shivah Supplies for Motzoei Pesach 2020

In accordance with our daas Torah, R’ Yechezkel Roth, shlita, aveilim should continue to sit separately, and nichum aveilim should continue to be by phone. However, Misaskim will be providing shivah chairs only, with the following guidelines.

1. All shivah chairs will need to be picked up Motzei Yom Tov between the hours of 9:15 PM and 11:00 PM, and brought back after shivah.
2. All neighborhoods will have a designated location where representatives of aveilim can pick up and drop off shivah chairs.
3. If your neighborhood is not listed below, and you are in need of shivah chairs, please call the Misaskim hotline after Yom Tov at 718-854-4548.
4. In order to ensure the shivah chairs are returned, all shivah chairs will only be released with a refundable $25 cash deposit, per shivah chair, which will be returned in full immediately when shivah chairs are brought back.
5. Our volunteers will be manning the pickup spots. There is no authorization to release anything besides shivah chairs, so please don’t asking volunteers to make exceptions.
6. All shivah chairs need to be returned on Wednesday, April 22, 2020, between the hours of 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
