On this sacred day, we give —
and
through giving, we are lifted.
The sages teach that the giving of the half-shekel preceded Haman’s decree.
Before accusation — there was unity. Before darkness — there was light.
Today, we continue this powerful custom.
By giving your symbolic Machatzit HaShekel, you:
- Strengthen Torah and prayer
• Support families in need
• Stand in unity with Am Yisrael
• Sweeten harsh decrees through generosity
This is not just a donation.
It is a
spiritual act of protection and blessing.
