#5772 - Need New Pesach Teeth?
Question
Moreini Horav O”Y. (Orech Yomim).
We have, in our shul, a tzedaka group that collects every year to help the families unable to meet the needs for Pesach. We have an elderly retired man who needs a complete new set of dentures that are not covered by his medical insurance and he would have problems eating regular matza. Can we use those funds for his needed dentures or should we advise him to eat Matza Sheruya (soft wet matza) that he always avoids?
Answer
Chashukei Chemed (Pesachim 90a) deals with a similar shaila and sides to be lenient in need and provide for the new set of dentures if the funds suffice.
