2. Mishloach Manot (Sending Portions)

It is a mitzvah to send gifts of food to friends and neighbors on Purim.
Each gift should include at least two different types of food and at least two gifts should be given. Thank you to all who participated in the
Sara Morris Mitzvah Committee Mishloach Manot Project.
Purim baskets will be delivered by the committee on Friday, February 26th.

3. Matanot L’evyonim – (Gifts to the poor)

On Purim, Jews are required to give gifts to the poor in order to commemorate the charity God gave the Jews by overturning Haman’s evil decree. Matanot l’evyonim, Purim tzedakah, will be given to the Mae S. Gelb Jewish Family Services Food Pantry. This includes the funds that were raised through the Mishloah Manot project and any other Purim tzedakah that we collect. If you would like to contribute, please make a donation to the Minyan Fund and
indicate it is for Purim tzedakah.

4. Purim Seudah (Festive Meal)

In the afternoon of Purim, we are instructed to partake in a festive meal.
Each family is encouraged to partake in a Purim Seudah sometime between the megillah reading and Shabbat, Friday, February 26th.
