PURIM- MATANOT L'EVYONIM
YOUR SUPPORT WILL MAKE PURIM THE FESTIVE HOLIDAY IT SHOULD BE
The Power of Matanot L'Evyonim
Back in the time of the Megilla, 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 celebration are lost. Money for seudas, mishlochei manot or even a simple costume is non-existent, causing Purim to become a difficult day.
Due to the ongoing rise in food costs, electricity rates and other basics, the number of struggling families has also risen significantly. There's been a 7.5% increase in the number of struggling households, compared to figures of just two years ago!
As a leading charity for Israel, American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B'ezri works to alleviate poverty related challenges for families as often, and for as many needs, as possible. With your help, our Matanot L’Evyonim program will provide tzedaka to struggling families so they can have full seuda tables and other holiday necessities. In true Purim style we can transform their time of sadness and discouragement into a day of great festivity.
Together, we can V'Nahafoch-hu!
