4 • FEBRUARY 2017 SHEVAT - ADAR 5777 Purim Mishloach Manot

One of the mitzvot of the Purim holiday is the sending of food to other Jewish people. This act, called Mishloach Manot or “sending of portions,” references a section of the Book of Esther where Jews refuted Haman’s accusation that the Jews were “a scattered, and divided people” and demonstrated by sending portions that they were, in fact, united. The Purim basket program (Mishloach Manot) is one of MJCBY’s largest fundraisers which supports all of our great programs, so in the spirit of a united MJCBY congregation, please consider participating in one or more of the following ways:

1) Send to the entire congregation: $154 2) Send to individual congregants and/or teachers who you select: $10 per address 3) Send to college students and non-congregant family and friends: $36 per address - includes shipping 4) Buy hamantashen by the pound: $12 per pound 5) Buy Green’s Chocolate Babka (16 oz): $8 each
