As we prepare for the most joyous day on the Jewish calendar, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of themed Shalach Manos, extravagant costumes, and gourmet feasts. But for many in our community, the focus is simply on putting food on the table for their families.
No matter how you plan to spend your Purim this year, don’t forget the most important mitzvah of the day—Matanos L’evyonim.
“It is preferable for a person to be more generous with his donations to the poor than to be lavish in his preparation of the Purim feast or in sending Shalach Manos. For there is no greater and more splendid happiness than to gladden the hearts of the poor, the orphans, the widows, and the converts.” – Rambam
