The TRUE Way to Celebrate Purim

Purim is a time for joy—but not everyone can celebrate.

As Jewish communities around the world prepare for Purim, the excitement builds—costumes, festive meals, and Mishloach Manot (Purim gift packages) bring the holiday to life. Families gather to hear the Megillah (Scroll of Esther) and relive the triumph of the Jewish people over destruction.

Yet, as the holiday approaches, thousands of families in Israel are struggling to find reasons to celebrate. Still reeling from the aftermath of October 7th, many are facing financial hardship, displacement, and emotional trauma. Children who should be picking out costumes and looking forward to festive meals are instead living with uncertainty and fear.

The contrast is striking. While many will sit down to a joyous meal surrounded by loved ones, others will face an empty table. Can we truly celebrate while others are struggling? More importantly, can we make sure they, too, have a reason to celebrate?

Purim is About Giving as Much as it is About Celebrating

Purim is not just a holiday of survival—it is a holiday of unity and generosity. One of its core traditions is Matanot L’Evyonim (gifts to the poor), reminding us that our joy is not complete unless it is shared with those in need.

This year, thousands of Israeli families are in desperate need of support. By making giving a part of your own celebration, you can bring Purim joy to those who need it most. Organizations like Meir Panim are ensuring that no family is left out of the holiday, providing essential support to struggling communities.

Meir Panim is Ensuring Purim Reaches Those Who Need it Most

Through generous donations, Meir Panim is delivering:

But the need remains great.

A Meaningful Way to Celebrate Purim

The Megillah (Scroll of Esther) teaches us that we must not only rejoice but share our joy with those in need. As we prepare for Purim, we have the opportunity to make the holiday truly meaningful by ensuring that no one is left behind.

This year, consider making Matanot L’Evyonim (gifts to the poor) part of your celebration by supporting families in need. Your generosity can bring light to a home that has known only hardship in recent months.
