Purim at Temple Emanu-El
Celebrate PURIM at Temple Emanu-El!
Mishloach Manot Campaign
We invite you to participate in an easy yet powerful mitzvah -- two mitzvot, actually, wrapped together as one gift. This year we are observing the Purim mitzvot of giving gifts to those in need (matanot la’evyonim) and exchanging gifts with friends (matanot ish l’rei’eihu) in our 5786 Mishloach Manot Exchange. Together, we can support Leket (Israel’s national food bank) and our own congregational community. Get started HERE.
