Purim Pushke Project
|
Our Hesed Committee’s Purim Pushke Project again this year is the RISE Early Learning Center. The learning center is an initiative Adath Jeshurun is supporting, with other faith congregations in the area, spearheaded by Westwood Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park. Both our Hesed Committee and Adath’s Antiracism Committee have agreed to advance this work.
The purpose of this initiative is to provide high quality affordable childcare to families in the area who cannot otherwise afford it. It is unique in that it combines affordable day care center with affordable housing being created by Common Bond Communities. You can see the building going up across the street from Knollwood Mall. We are in the second year of the commitment our congregation made to raise $25,000 over the course of 10 years. We are grateful that an anonymous commitment has been offered to match what is raised for this project from the Jewish community. 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. Donate to RISE Early Learning Center here! |
