Our Brotherhood has been coordinating this event for several years. It is a fun and simple opportunity for families to participate in tzedakah by giving one night of Hanullah gifts to local homeless kids through birthdaywishes.com.
The toy drives culminates at the shul wide Hanukkah celebration with collection boxes. Volunteers distribute the toys with their families to the children. This initiative has delivered birthday celebrations to thousands of homeless kids throughout the region and directly impacts so many lives. This year alone we collected over 200 toys from Temple Emanuel.
