Matanot L’Evyonim 5781

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

The minimum requirement here is to give a gift of money to two poor people, each one receiving his own gift.

The poor must receive the money on Purim day. You can do this yourself or through a messenger to whom you can give the money to before Purim and the messenger will deliver the charity to the poor on Purim day. To facilitate this mitzvah for our congregation, Rabbi Rabinowitz will make sure that the funds are distributed on Purim day.

(Matanot L’Evyonim should not be confused with Ma’ot Chitin, the Passover charity fund for the needy.)

There are a number of options to make your donation:

  • You can donate through the website (be sure to indicate “Matanot L’evyonim”).
  • You can send in your donation by mail in time to arrive before Purim (mark your donation as “Matanot L’evyonim” or “Purim Charity”).
  • You can donate the money (cash or check) on or before Purim at the shul.
  • Pledges can be emailed to rabbi@bethisraelmalden.org or phoned in to the rabbi at 781-223-1471 (do not leave any pledges on the synagogue phone number).

All pledges and online donations must be received by the Rabbi no later than 10:00 pm on Thursday, February 25th. Donations in person my be received up until 8:30 am on Friday, February 26th. Please do not wait until the last minute to donate or pledge by email or postal mail, because you risk missing the deadline.

A Rabbi Green musical event is a moving and refreshing mélange of word, story and song that communicates a range of feelings, thoughts, and breakthroughs that no single one of those media can communicate on its own.

Rabbi Green’s thoughts and stories are in the language of Torah. His music is in the language of America.

The combination is exhilarating, inspiring and fun.

About Rabbi Green

Rabbi Shimon Green is a Torah educator with a long history of helping students navigate the pathway to becoming talmidei chachamim.

He is Rabbi of Kehillas HaTurim of Phoenix, Arizona, a warm Torah-focused shul where people grow, and Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas HaTurim, a yeshiva that is a project of Kehilas HaTurim. Yeshivas HaTurim studies shas and poskim and derives Torah beliefs with the same rigor as it does halacha. The yeshiva is preparing talmidei chachamim who will be capable of disseminating Torah in the impending years, which rabbi Green believes will be particularly challenging to Torah Judaism.
Rabbi Green was formerly Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Bircas HaTorah in Jerusalem. After building the yeshiva for 22 years, feeling that he had completed his work there, he gave Bircas HaTorah to his students so that he could work on Yeshivas HaTurim, the next step towards the achievement of his Torah goals.

Rabbi Green’s yeshiva classes are designed to de-mystify the study of Talmud through the utilization of clear and precise learning methods that can be reproduced and verified by any diligent student. Faithful to classic gemorra tradition, he interweaves the twin disciplines of shmasasa and agadita into an organic whole that infuses his students with a vision that inspires them to emulate and gradually replicate the outstanding character traits and fear of Heaven that are exemplified by Chazal.

Over the years Rabbi Green has given numerous shiurim and Shabbatonim throughout the United States. His presentations are famous for their depth, clarity, humor, and inspiration.
As an accomplished musician, he has often used the language of music and song to express Torah thoughts and feelings. His most recent albums are available on all the popular music streaming services.

Rabbi Green strives to help every Jew achieve the ecstatic Torah experience that he believes is their birthright, through joyous and deep learning, fervent prayer, personal character development, and total dedication to Torah, the Jewish People, and the service of G-d.
