Purim is a fun holiday for anyone who enjoys parades, carnivals, dressing up,andenthusiastically participating in the reading of the Megillah (think groggers and foot-stamping).                            

This year when we can't be together in person we can still send our love to friends and the Temple Judea community via Purim Care Packages (in Hebrew: mishloach manot, in Yiddish: shalach manos) — gift boxes filled with hamantashen and other sweet and savory treats, groggers, and tea. Each box will include a card with happy Purim wishes, the name (s) of the senders and will be sealed and hand-delivered by members.

Participating in this mitzvah is as easy as a few clicks of your mouse. Share in the joy of giving and receiving and support Temple Judea while sharing the love. Your personal login link with more details should have arrived in your inbox from Temple Judea the from the email address judea@templejudea.org. The link will offer a list of temple members and staffers so you can select the people to whom you want to send a Purim Care Package.

Mishloach manot is a great way to thank our Rabbi and teachers, welcome new members, and show friends and family how much you care. We hope you will participate in this joyful tradition.
