Moreover, in keeping with the ability granted on Rosh Chodesh Nissan for miraculous conduct in life, to go beyond our natural or habitual efforts, we should even give more than a tenth of our earnings, or even more than a fifth during this time, giving to an unlimited extent.
Pesach to the needy: We should begin to provide these requirements thirty days in advance, and greatly increase our donations and activities two weeks before Pesach.
No needy Jews in Nissan! In addition to our Maos Chitim activities that began thirty days before Pesach, we should make proper preparations in the latter days of Adar, particularly during the week before Rosh Chodesh, so that we will be able to amplify our efforts from Rosh Chodesh Nissan and onward. Ideally, though, by the time Rosh Chodesh Nissan arrives, every Jew should already have everything they need for Pesach.
