In 2009, the Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and Jewish Family & Children’s Services started a program that brings together our community to create baskets of food and gifts for Jewish families in need several times a year. The anonymity of the families is closely guarded. 
 

Mitzvah Magic is a wonderful initiative that helps needy Jewish families in Southern Arizona. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the families of Mitzvah Magic. The members of Mitzvah Magic are assigned to a “circle”. Each circle has a captain that makes sure every one of their members hands in their donations on time. Each member is required to donated at least $33 each high holiday/$100 in total each year. We cater to Jewish families for three holidays: Rosh Hashanah, Hannukah and Passover.

A family member from an adopted family that participated in past years said, "Just receiving these gifts made a hard day much happier."  Another family wrote to JFCS, "Thank you so much, we have put your loving givings in our hearts."

As a staple program for local Jewish families in need, Mitzvah Magic continues to grow. We hope we can count on you in this seventeenth year of the program which brings, if only for a short time, a bright light of relief and hope into the lives of our Mitzvah Magic families.
 

For those of you who have not yet participated in Mitzvah Magic we would love for you to join us this year and see what the Magic is all about!
