Dear Member,

One of the most important elements of any Jewish holiday is remembering the less fortunate and providing for their needs (Rambam Yom Tov 6:18). Giving tzedaka has increased significance on Purim since our salvation was clinched when we unified in prayer and battle. Esther and Mordechai established the mitzvah of Matanot L’evyonim- giving gifts to the poor- to highlight this theme of unity and responsibility. Rambam recommends that the amount one spends on Matanot L'evyonim should exceed that of Mishloach Manot.

The Mitzvah is fulfilled by giving tzedakah to two poor people on Purim day. Alternatively, you can fulfill the mitzvah by designating me (anytime between now and Purim) as your agent to distribute monies on Purim. I work together with organizations in LA and Israel to distribute thousands of dollars on Purim. 100 cents on the dollar goes to the needy. 

Please click here to make your contribution and fulfill this impactful mitzvah. Your gift will be distributed on Purim to those in need who so greatly appreciate your crucial support. 

Thank you and Purim sameach, 

Rabbi Topp

This year, our Mishloach Manot initiative aims to uplift our Israeli mishpacha. We'll be sending hearty food packages sourced from local Israeli business and delivered to Israeli families who have been displaced.
