Dear Friends,

Matanot La’Evyonim is one of the four designated mitzvot on Purim, along with hearing the Megilla, Mishloach Manot and Seudat Purim. 

 As part of the unifying theme of the Purim festival, it is a mitzvah to give money to needy families in the community, so that they too can afford to celebrate this festival properly, and have some welcome respite from their difficult financial circumstances, both on Purim, and after Purim.

 This year, as in past years, I will be distributing the money raised from our membership for Matanot La’evyonim to needy families here in Los Angeles and in Israel. 

Checks can be made payable to "YINBH" or "Young Israel of North Beverly Hills".  You must be logged-in to your account in order to select "bill to my account" and send a check.
