Mishloach Manot Packing for Soldiers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Community Building Purim Shpiel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a Purim seudah on Purim day for every member of the community. A team of volunteers creates a Purim skit\/shpiel as the entertainment for the meal. This brings all demographics together and provides a safe, healthy, fun, and structured way to spend the Purim seudah.<\/p>\n
