Mishloach Manot
Mishloach Manot 5784
Purim starts the evening of Saturday, March 23rd! On this festive holiday there are four Mitzvot that the Jewish people should fulfill: reading/listening to the Megillah Esther, sending Mishloach Manot, or gift baskets, the Seudah, or festive meal, and Matanot La'evyonim, giving to the poor.
The tradition of sending Mishloach Manot comes from the Book of Esther and is meant to ensure that everyone can enjoy the traditional Purim feast. Literally, the “sending of portions,” Mishloach Manot (Hebrew) or Shalach Manos (Yiddish) is the Mitzvah of sending gifts of food to others in our community at Purim. In fulfillment of this Mitzvah, Kol Ami solicits contributions that enable us to provide those special Purim treats.
Fulfill the Mitzvot of Mishloach Manot (sending gifts) and Matanot La'evyonim (giving to the poor) as we raise funds to send Purim goodies to each member household and additional funds to support the Freida Sweitzer Mobile Food Pantry!
