[COMMUNICATED] Each year around Purim time, Jewish magazines, news sites, and papers are filled with stories of poor families struggling to make Purim. Each year, we try to find a new angle, a new way to convince you that you should give matanos l’evyonim toward poor Israeli families. This year, we’re trying something different.
Tachlis, you have to give matanos l’evyonim.
When you give, it should be to a reputable source.
For years, the biggest gedolim in the world have given matanos l’evyonim to Vaad HaRabbanim. This has included Rav Shteinman zt”l, Rav Vozner zt”l, Rav Chaim Kanievsky, the Belzer Rebbe, and dozens more.
“After I am 120, when I will stand before Beis Din Shel Maalah, they will ask me what I did for the poor, the widows and the orphans. I will answer that I was a partner with Vaad HaRabbanim.” – Rav Shteinman zt”l
“Vaad Harabanim is our shaliach to fulfill the mitzvah of Matanos Levyonim with the greatest hiddurim, and everyone should do the same.” – Rav Chaim Kanievsky
It’s just simple. Take the gedolim’s advice, and do the mitzvah right. It will be distributed on the day of Purim to families who really need it.
No tragic stories, no fancy matching campaigns, just the advice of the biggest talmidei chachamim in the world, and the mitzvah you need to do.
