Purim 2024

Make this Purim Different!

On Purim we emphasize the importance of friendship and community by sending gifts of mishloach manot, to friends.

Give to the Needy (Matanot La'evyonim)

Concern for the needy is a year-round responsibility; but on Purim it is a special mitzvah to remember the poor.

Give charity to at least two, (but preferably more) needy individuals on Purim day, March 24th, 2024.

The mitzvah is best fulfilled by giving directly to the needy. If, however, you cannot find poor people, place at least two coins into a charity box. As with the other mitzvahs of Purim, even small children should fulfill this mitzvah.

“On Purim we give to those less fortunate than ourselves by giving gifts of money and food to the poor”
