Historically, rabbis did not allow celebrations to begin until the community’s poor were seated and fed. Today, Jews symbolically observe this tradition by donating 3% of the cost of lifecycle celebrations - weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, anniversaries and other joyous occasions - to MAZON.
- Many MAZON donors join our 3% Circle.
- Bar/bat mitzvot share their simchas with MAZON.
- Across the country, brides and grooms invite MAZON to participate in their wedding celebrations.
- MAZON donors often choose to make contributions in honor of many other special occasions.
