Yes, I’m Coming

Matanot L’Evyonim

On Purim day, men and women are obligated in the mitzvah of Matanot L’Evyonim (charity to the poor).

The minimum requirement is to give a gift of money to two poor people, each receiving his own gift on Purim day. To help you fulfill this mitzvah, Rabbi Rabinowitz will make sure that the funds are distributed on Purim day.

(Matanot L’Evyonim is not ma’ot chitin, which is the Passover charity fund for the needy.)

You can make your donation a number of ways:

Donate through the website.
Donate the money (cash or check) on or before Purim at the shul.
If you cannot do any of the above, make a pledge for matanot l’evyonim to rabbi@bethisraelmalden.org or by phone to 781-223-1471 (do not leave your pledge on the synagogue voice mail) and then send in your donation. Mark it as “Matanot L’evyonim” or “Purim Charity”.

All pledges and online donations must be received by the Rabbi no later than 10:00 am on Tuesday, March 3rd. Please do not wait until the last minute to donate or pledge by email or postal mail, because you risk missing the deadline. If you need further assistance, please call the Rabbi.

Machatzit HaShekel

The giving of Machatzit Hashekel is fulfilled by donating $1.50. The practice of purchasing the three half dollars is customary. Bring $1.50 when you come to Shul.
