In order to fulfill the Purim mitzvah of Matanot L'evyonim, SAR Academy is collecting money for Congregation Sons of Israel of the Bronx, which currently serves 80 families with weekly Shabbat meals. The shul lessens the burden of many of its elderly struggling congregants, opening its doors weekly so they can hear words of Torah, sing Zmirot and enjoy a hot Shabbat meal. Over the years, SAR students have walked to Pelham Parkway to see with their own eyes this great act of chesed in one of the last existing shuls in the wider Bronx area.
