Purim Pushke
This year our Adath HESED committee agreed to have RISE EARLY LEARNING CENTER be the recipient of HESED’s Purim Pushke fundraiser this year.
The learning center is an initiative which is being cosponsored with several other faith congregations in the local area, spearheaded by Westwood Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park. The purpose of this initiative is to provide high quality affordable childcare to those in the local area who cannot otherwise afford it. Adath has agreed to be one of the faith community co-sponsors of this project, and has committed to donate $25,000 over the course of 10 years.
Matanot l’evyonim, hebrew for “gifts to the poor”, is the greatest mitzvah we can complete on Purim. We ask your help in fulfilling this commandment and assisting our friends at Rise Early Learning Center.
