The United Synagogue

Chesed at Purim

Purim is the only Jewish festival where it's a mitzvah to give gifts of food to others. At Purim 5769, we gave our members the opportunity to give Mishloach Manot to family and friends, and help someone in need in their community at the same time (with no extra effort on their part!).

We sold over 300 Mishloach Manot before Purim 5769, full of lovely goodies! We were able to produce two for the price of every one sold, one which was given to the buyer, and another one which was given to someone in need in the community, as identified by local Care Groups. It was easy - by simply buying their Mishloach Manot through us, members were helping others in their immediate communities to have a "Purim Sameach".

We also distributed a very generous donation from Yarden UK of hundreds of packs of cup cakes and sweets for the many Mishloach Manot produced by another 10 Care Groups for those in need in their communities.

We would like to thank Yarden UK for their generous and valuable support.
