Matanos L’Evyonim – Gifts to the Poor on Purim

[21 Feb 2008 | 530 views | Print This Post | Email This Post ]

Do your family and friends really need another Shalach Manos package this year, while so many of our brethren are going hungry in Israel? Give the same wishes and feed a hungry Jewish child by sending “In Lieu of Shalach Manos” cards.

Each card is only $5.00
All proceeds go to Yad Eliezer, the largest hunger relief organization in Israel.

Israel’s neediest people are waiting for Purim, for on that day it is a special mitzvah to give gifts of money to the poor. This year, fulfil the mitzvah at its highest level. Give directly to needy Jews in Israel. 100% of money given through Yad Eliezer will be distributed directly. Last year, Yad Eliezer distributed $220,000 on Purim day. This year, you too can be a part.

Contact: Chayamiriam Taurog at (972) 735-0274 or chayamiriam@sbcglobal.net or give directly to Yad Eliezer to fulfil your Matanos L’Evyonim (money to the poor) obligation on Purim.
