Megillah Readings |
|
|
To relive the miraculous events of Purim, listen to the reading of the megillah (the Scroll of Esther) twice: once on Purim eve, Wednesday night, March 23, and again on Purim day, March 24. The Megillah will be read by all of the parties above.

Give to the needy |
|
|
Concern for the needy is a year-round responsibility; but on Purim it is a special mitzvah to remember the poor.
Give charity to at least two (but preferably more) needy individuals on Purim day, March 24.
If you are not able to find a poor person, we are able to facilitate this great mitzvah for you. Click donate on our home page to send a donation to our center (note that it's for this cause), and we will distribute it people in need.

Send Food Portions to Friends |
|
|
On Purim we emphasize the importance of Jewish unity and friendship by sending gifts of food to friends.
On Purim day, March 24, send a gift of at least two kinds of ready-to-eat foods (e.g., pastry, fruit, beverage) to at least one friend. Men should send to men, and women to women. It is preferable that the gifts be delivered via a third party. Children, in addition to sending their own gifts of food to their friends, make enthusiastic messengers.
