No one in Israel, old or young, should go hungry on Purim. And we have three mitzvot to do for Purim to help make sure no one goes hungry or empty-handed.
This Purim, Colel Chabad will provide food and companionship to 6,732 poor, lonely, senior citizens in our 22 soup kitchens throughout Israel.
What’s more, 10,986 impoverished families — including many young widows with their orphaned children — will receive everything they need… and everything we’re obligated to give.
The Blavatnik Food Bank will give out and refill thousands of food cards for “Matanas L’evyonim – gifts to the poor,” with a special focus on families affected by the attacks – new widows, widows, families of reserves and displaced families.
our special program for widows and orphans, will send a package to every family so they remember and feel the love of their Colel Chabad community – especially during the holidays, when loneliness tends to hit harder.
United Soup Kitchens of Israel will host a festive Seudat Purim in each of the 23 Soup Kitchens, including decorations and envelopes of cash as Matanas L’evyonim for elderly Holocaust survivors.
The Larisa Blavatnik daycare centers, including the Luxenberg center in Sderot, (First center that’s fully sheltered) will reopen right before Purim. The festivities planned for all children aim to restore calm and normalcy to both the young ones and their families.
Meals on Wheels will deliver special Mishloach Manot and at-home Seudat Purim for thousands of homebound Holocaust survivors, many of whom are scared to leave their homes after October 7th
Pininim – our unique program established by the Pinson family (Miami) for single mothers in Tzfat – will host a Seudat Purim for the “whole community,” which is a welcoming way to host everyone in need. Everyone’s invited so single mothers don’t feel singled out yet again.
