PURIM HAS FOUR MITZVOT: Hear the megillah, give tzedakah, have a meal, and give food gifts to friends.

Giving away money is the most significant impact you can make, and it is what Rabbi Yonah calls "The Biggest Mitzvah of Purim." 

Why? We learn from our sages in the Shulchan Aruch that bringing joy to the poor is more important than spending money on Purim baskets or fancy meals!

As a Rabbi who helps many people in need, Rabbi Yonah is connected to those in need all year round. These poor Jews count on him to help them greatly on Purim.

If you donate to our campaign, Rabbi Yonah will distribute the Tzedakah on your behalf to Jews who are in REAL NEED. This money helps them pay off debts, get their cell phone turned on, and buy new shoes from a thrift store. It's a GIANT mitzvah! This year, the Purim Campaign will help Jews in LA and Israel!
