PURIM Day
Join us for our Purim Day Megillah Reading at the morning minyan, 7am on Friday, March 14th.
Mishloach Manot
Sending food gifts to friends and family—is one of the four mitzvot performed on Purim. Congregation Beth Shalom is hosting a community-wide Mishloach Manot project again this year. For just $5.00 per recipient, you can participate in the sending of a beautiful gift basket to anyone on our membership list. Every family on the list will receive one gift package, along with a Purim card that lists all the people who participated in their package. It's a mitzvah, it’s great fun and is an easy way to support CBS! How do you order? Make sure you're logged into your Beth Shalom account, and go to our Mishloach Manot page.
Do you have questions? Contact Lauren Fellows. Ordering closes Monday, March 3 at 9pm.
Getting Your Purim Gift
Every Beth Shalom member can receive a Purim gift (a tzedakah box full of treats). If you would like one, there will be different opportunities to pick up your gift:

Matanot L'Evyonim
In addition to mishloach manot (sending gifts of food to each other), another Purim mitzvah is matanot l’evyonim (giving gifts to the poor). In observance of this mitzvah, our social action committee is collecting funds to distribute to our community partners who combat food insecurity. Funds will provide a meal to people in need on Purim Day. If you would like to fulfill the mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim in this way, please consider donating when you're on our Mishloach Manot page.
