Mishloah Manot
For many years now, our shul has organized our annual Minyan Mishloach Manot project. This is a wonderful, low cost way to send Purim greetings to all your friends inside and outside the Palo Alto community and support Congregation Emek Beracha's programs and services.
On your behalf, we will deliver attractive Mishloach Manot packages to those you indicate through our custom-build Mishloach Manot online application . A card is attached to each package listing the names of each household sending Mishloach Manot to the recipient. We offer different ways to participate, including a sponsorship level.
All participants are encouraged to deliver one Mishloach Manot of their own to one person in order to make sure to fulfill the mitzvah. Our program also offers cards to be sent to individuals and "reciprocity". With “reciprocity”, if you forget to send Mishloach Manot to someone, but they send to you, we can add your name to their package as though you had listed them on your order. We will then bill you later.
This project typically gets under way about 7 weeks before Purim and wraps up on Purim day with arranging for the delivery of some of the Mishloach Manot. It's a rewarding experience and a great way to get involved in the shul.
Feel free to contact Judy Wallach at (650) 493-1190 for more details or to volunteer.
