PURIM
SAT–SUN / MAR 23–24
Celebrate this joyous holiday as we hear the story of Esther, who is the hero of the saga. PAS has everything you need to celebrate, whether it's for young children, 20s and 30s, or entire families.
matanot l'evyonim and mishloah manot
On Purim, it is a mitzvah to perform the commandment of matanot l’evyonim (gifts to the poor). This year, we are directing funds to The New York Common Pantry, which works to reduce hunger and promotes dignity, health, and self-sufficiency.
Also customary is to give mishloah manot (gifts of food and drink). This year we are recommending you give directly to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces who will provide Purim packages to Israeli soldiers
