About This Purim Mitzvah

One of Purim’s central mitzvot is Matanot La’Evyonim, giving directly to those in need so that everyone can celebrate the holiday with dignity and joy.

Temple Hillel B’nai Torah invites our community to fulfill this mitzvah by supporting Yad Chessed, a Massachusetts-based Jewish nonprofit dedicated to meeting the basic needs of Jewish individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.

How to Give

There are three ways to support this Purim mitzvah:

Give online through Yad Chessed

Donations are made directly to Yad Chessed.

Send a check to Temple Hillel B’nai Torah

Please write “Yad Chessed” in the memo line.

Give cash in the Yad Chessed tzedakah jar at HBT

The jar will be available in the synagogue during the Purim season.
