In lieu of gift events

There are many special occasions in our lives that give us pleasure and make us pause for a moment, like a birthday, a wedding, a baptism, a Bar mitzvahs, or an anniversary. With loved ones we love to celebrate such personal moments of life together. Material gifts often play a minor role. That is why these occasions are a wonderful opportunity to share your joy with needy people.
