As we get ready to celebrate                                                Purim, we continue to hold Israel in our hearts and minds. This year, instead of distributing mishloach manot locally to our community, we will be sending mishloach manot and helping to share the simcha with people living in Israel. There are different levels at which to donate, and we hope you will choose the one that works for you. Your donation will benefit American Friends of the IDF Rabbinate who sponsors this project with Yisrael Hatzair/National Council of Young Israel (see here for more info). A percentage will also benefit Bais Abe. 

We must have your donation by Friday, March 7, 2025.

Additionally, please note: This is a wonderful cause worth supporting.  But please keep in mind that it does not fulfill the personal obligation to give one’s own Mishloach Manot. (They have informed us that they cannot guarantee that the foods will arrive on Purim Day itself).  Actual Mishloach Manot to fulfill the mitzvah should be done on Purim Day with the giving of a minimum of two ready to eat foods to another person.
