Evolve is turning five. We’re celebrating and seeking your support. Help keep this essential resource at your fingertips.  

To celebrate five years of this sacred work, we are designating the month before Purim as a time in which we fulfill the line from the Book of Esther, “The Jews had light/ Layehudim hayeta orah.” During this month, we will publish and distribute materials related to light and Purim.
