PURIM- MATANOT L'EVYONIM
HUNGER ON PURIM
The Power of Matanot L'Evyonim
Is there any event in Jewish history as unique in its "topsy-turviness" as the Purim story?
Back in the time of the Megilla, sadness, confusion and fear were miraculously transformed into joy and great celebration.
No wonder the holiday is so full of rollicking excitement, happiness, fun and activity!
Purim is also one of the holiest days of the year, an opportune time to do mitzvot and chesed that help the needy, for whom the holiday is not quite as fun. Impoverished families struggle with the cost of the most basic groceries and expenses on a daily basis, so when Purim arrives, feelings of excitement and celebration are lost. Money for kids’ costumes, mishlochei manot and seudas is non-existent, causing Purim to become a disappointing, difficult day. And due to the health crisis, more families are struggling than ever before.
With your help, though, in true Purim style Yad Eliezer’s Matanot L’Evyonim program will transform their time of sadness and discouragement into a day of great festivity.
Together, we can V'Nahafoch-hu!
This year is Purim M'shulash. All Matanot L’Evyonim donations received by 9 am EST Friday morning (2/26) will be distributed on Purim day to families in Yerushalayim and cities throughout Israel, before shkiya.
