We want to help 10 Jewish families and individuals this Purim. Please donate generously to help others. All funds raised go directly to those in need.

Rabbi Yonah will distribute these funds to those without permanent housing or serious medical need on Purim.

Here are some of the people we are helping this year :

Joseph, 40, needs money for rent because his jobs don't pay enough. Living in his car.
Dawn, 45, lives in a motel because she has no credit and can't rent an apartment.
The Friendmans have five kids and struggle to pay bills after the father lost his job.
Gail, 45, lives in a dilapidated house illegally and showers at the YMCA.
Stan, 65, can't pay rent and bills because of illness.

Rabbi Yonah will distribute these funds to Jews in need on Purim.

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!

HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY? The tzedakah money must go to poor Jews and be distributed on Purim. Not everyone knows who is poor and who is Jewish and has the time and ability to find those in need on the right day.

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!

HOW MUCH TZEDAKAH SHOULD YOU GIVE? A lot. Consider donating 10% of your monthly profits to help less fortunate Jews. You will feel great and make a significant impact in the world. Plus, you will receive rewards from Hashem for your generosity and kindness.

As with the other mitzvot of Purim, this mitzvah should be fulfilled by all Jews, men, women, and even small children.
