Giving
Fulfill the Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot- 5786
Purim reminds us not only of the kindness we’ve received, but of the kindness we’re called to give. This year, we are proud to continue our tradition of delivering Mishloach Manot—packages of treats—to our beloved clergy, dedicated administrative staff, security and facilities staff, and to the residents of JARC and Gesher. Each recipient will receive a Mishloach Manot gift along with a lovely note including a list of those who have donated toward their gift.
Click here to place your order and fulfill the Mitzvah of Mishloach Manot. Deadline to order is February 16th, 2026.
