YOU can make a poor Jewish family in India enjoy their Purim!

Like in the previous 11 years, I am collecting donations for matanot le'evyonim for Jewish families and individuals in India. We are all experiencing tough times right now, as well as the 28 Jewish families (or 90 +individuals) in India who are welfare recipients of the JDC. We will also contribute to the Purim festivities and general welfare of the 4 Jewish residents of the Mumbai Jewish nursing home, 'Bayiti' that is managed by the All India Jewish Welfare Association (AIJWA).

We would like to gather the funds for Matanot Le’vyonim a week before Purim which falls on March 13 so that the families will have time to purchase groceries and food to celebrate the holiday.

We estimate that $50--$70 per family will be a wonderful help for families to receive all the food items needed to celebrate the Purim holiday and for groceries to use for the rest of the month and for Passover.

The Matanot Le’vynim will be allocated to JDC welfare families in Mumbai, Thane, Ahmedabad, Pune and Konkan villages - wherever a JDC India welfare client lives in India! The donation will be anonymous and be simply part of the communal support of the JDC and AIJWA.

This is a fantastic opportunity to give matanot levyonim to families who would really need and appreciate it.

Thank YOU
