roshhashanahtableEvery year celebrating the Chagim becomes more and more expensive.  Chagei Tishrei (the holidays that fall in the Hebrew calendar month of Tishrei: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot and Simchat Torah) can put a huge strain on your bank account and your already tight Aliyah budget. There is food to buy, new clothes, hostess and other gifts as well as unexpected household expenses that seem to pop up.  Paying by credit card over 6 months is appealing but this budgeting decision could have implications months down the line.
