Kindergarten Mishloach Manot


We will be celebrating Purim in school this Friday, March 2nd. There are four mitzvot (good deeds) that traditionally have been associated with this holiday. One of those mitzvot, and a traditional way to celebrate Purim, is to exchange gifts of food to friends and family (mishloach manot).

To enjoy this custom, I am asking the children to bring one item of food, enough to distribute to each child in their class (individually packed cookies or candy, boxed drink, pretzels, humantashen, etc.). All baked goods should be store bought, and kosher. We will use this to prepare mishloach manot for the respective classes.

We are going to prepare the mishloach manot on Thursday, March 1st. Accordingly, please send the food items to school before that day.

If you have any questions, please call me at 766-3133, or email me at etscheier@yavneh.org.

Thank you for your help and Purim samayach!

Toda Raba,
Etti
