Purim is already well underway in Australia!
As Purim is a time of giving and inclusion, Sydney launches into a huge giving project headed by Rabbi Chaim Levy of Sydney’s Shul and Tomer Hemed, famed soccer player on the Israeli National team and the Australian Premier League.
Hundreds of children from the community have been packing gift bags together with writing heartwarming notes for children in hospital to be distributed over the Purim holiday.
Over 2,000 packages are already on their way to Sydney hospitals, and the distribution will continue over the next coming days. Although visitors are still not permitted in hospitals, the joy of the holiday will reach everyone.
“The essence of the holiday is finding the hidden miracles in our lives despite the challenges… what better way to celebrate then giving back to these young children..” says Rabbi Chaim Levy.
