Mitzvah of Giving

*MONEY IS GOING TO JEWS IN NEED IN JERUSALEM*

Please make donations by Friday 12PM

​

One of the specific enactments (see Esther 9:22) made in regard to Purim was to give special gifts to the poor (minimum 2 gifts to 2 poor people) so that no person lacked the means to have a special Purim feast. Some have a custom not to turn away any person who asks for assistance on this day. Some authorities say the mitzva is only fulfilled on the day of Purim itself, so special groups collect money for distribution on Purim day. If you give charity money to any of the MJE Educators the night before, we will make sure it is delivered on Purim day.

We will be capping our intake at 30 people per service—along with having masks, cross ventilation and HEPA filters—to keep things socially distanced and safe.
