Purim at Chabad Lubavitch of Rockland is a really happy and festive time where we celebrate the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia.
This year, in light of events in Israel and around the world, we feel added urgency to come together in unity to celebrate as one family.
Please join us for multiple megillah readings and events. You can find more information about our events and the holiday below.
Wishing you a happy Purim! |

Food Gifts to Friends
|
 |
|
|
On Purim day, send a gift of at least two kinds of ready-to-eat foods (e.g., pastry, fruit, beverage) to at least one friend. Men should send to men, and women to women. It is preferable that the gifts be delivered via a third party. Children, in addition to sending their own gifts of food to their friends, make enthusiastic messengers.

Giving to the Needy
|
 |
|
|
One of Purim’s primary themes is Jewish unity. Haman tried to kill us all, we were all in danger together, so we celebrate together too. Hence, on Purim day we place special emphasis on caring for the less fortunate.
Give money or food to at least two needy people during the daylight hours of Purim. In case you can’t find any needy people, your synagogue will likely be collecting money for this purpose. At least, place two coins in a charity box earmarked for the poor.
On Purim, we give a donation to whoever asks; we don’t verify his or her bank balance first.
As with the other mitzvahs of Purim, even small children should fulfill this mitzvah.
