Fulfill the Mitzvot of Purim
Add your Greetings to Sisterhood's Shalach Manot bags
Everyone love's Sisterhood's Shalach Manot gift bags.
But not everyone knows how easy it is to participate and fulfill this Mitzvot of Purim.
What is it? It is a tradition to give gifts of food on Purim. Every year, Sisterhood prepares and distributes Shalach Manot gift bags to each local GHC family - members, honorary members, Sisterhood Only Members, GHC Staff, and Non-members with Children in our Nursery School, Religious School or Toddler Program. Plus - Purim greeting cards are sent to those who live out of town, i.e. Florida, college campuses, NYC, Long Island, etc. Each bag and card includes a customized list of sponsors, those whose contribution made that bag possible. Every GHC family receives a gift bag or card.
How can I participate?
1. Sponsor bags for friends, GHC professionals, teachers and staff, people who have sponsored bags for you in the past, people with whom you sit on committees, families of your children's friends, anyone you wish to remember in this special way. The cost is only $1.75 per family. You name will appear on only the bags you sponsor. Lots of bang for very few bucks. (All bags are Kosher - Peanut-free bags are available if ordered in advance.)
2. Be a macher - Sponsor the bags for the entire congregation for only $300!
3. Purchase gift packages for your loved ones or friends who are not members of the GHC family.
You pick these up at the GHC and deliver them at your leisure.
4. Volunteer to deliver a bag or two to GHCers who cannot visit GHC during the Megillah reading or Purim carnival. This is an especially meaningful activity for families with young children.
What's New?
New this year, not only can you send to your family and friends at GHC, but you can also send to a family or child in Sderot, or an Israeli solider. Sisterhood will be matching your donation. See Order Form for details. Contact Judy Sepinkski with any questions.
