With Your Help, $57,000 Worth of Food Will be Distributed During the Purim Season

Please help feed the needy this Purim season. Bring joy to so many needy men, women and children. Donate to Masbia to fulfill the real mitzva of Matanot La'Evyonim and Mishloach Manot.

Masbia of Flatbush’s goal is to give $57,000 worth of food this Purim season. We are expected to serve 500 families at each of the two distributions, which will include special kosher holiday staples for families to be able to prepare their own Purim feast. Masbia will also serve several sit-down dinners for 100 guests--one on Taanit Esther, a special meal on Purim itself, and another dinner on Shushan Purim-- for those who are unable to prepare food for themselves. With the Purim-feast meals at $18 per person, Taanit Esther and Shushan Purim at $6 per person and packages at $54, we need to raise $57,000 to cover the food (this does not include other costs).

Please feed the needy today and sponsor meals, packages, or both!

About Purim

Purim is the Jewish holiday which is most associated with giving, sharing and charity as an expression of joy. While giving charity when approached by a poor person in need is a Mitzva all year round, on Purim the Mitzva is to be proactive in finding someone to help. There are four traditional obligations to the celebration of Purim; reading the book of Esther aka the Megilah, having a Purim feast (Suedat Purim), sharing food with your friends (Mishloach Manot), and giving charity to the needy (Matanot LeEvyonim). All of those are expressions of joy to celebrate the triumph of Mordechai over Haman with the help of Esther that saved the Jews from extinction.

Special thanks for their help with the Purim season:
