Purim Pushke Project
What's a Pushke?
A tzedakah (charity) box where we collect our spare change (or more!) to give to others in need. Gan Shelanu and Youth households will be able to take home a Pushke box prior to Purim from respective locations and programs (Gan, B'Yachad, SMP, etc.).
When do we fill it?
Anytime! One Jewish tradition is to drop a few coins in the pushke each Friday night before we light Shabbat candles.
During Purim, a traditional way to celebrate is with Matanot La’evyonim (Gifts to the Needy). The Adath Hesed Committee's Purim Pushke Project focuses on Matanot La’evyonim each year with recipient organizations in the U.S. and/or Israel.
You will be able to make a donation to the Purim Pushke Project in the Spine during the Purim Carnival on Sunday, March 1 from 11:00am - 1:00pm and during Erev Purim on Monday, March 2 from 5:00 - 8:00pm.
Who are we donating the funds to this year?
In an effort to address food insecurity in the community, Gan Shelanu Preschool and the Hesed Committee have designated PRISM as the recipient of this year's Purim Pushke Project. PRISM provides dignity-centered resources for food, housing, and other basic needs.
What if I want to donate but cannot attend a Purim Event?
You are more than welcome to make online donations or drop off funds to the Adath Office. The Hesed Committee is accepting donations until Tuesday, March 31.
