    during the Jewish holiday of Purim. Our TI Mishloach Manot will include a Megillah, grogger, fresh-baked Hamantashen, and other sweet and traditional treats.

    Why is it a custom to give Mishloach Manot? Derived from the book of Esther, the mitzvah of giving Mishloach Manot

    deliver Mishloach Manot to EVERY Temple Israel member during Purim.

    $18 – Hamantashen SponsorSponsor names will be showcased at their donation level on the Megillah (scroll)

    that will accompany all Mishloach Manot!

    VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIESFrom baking delicious Hamantashen and stuffing Mishloach Manot bags, to personally delivering these delightful holiday gifts to Temple members, there are so many fun and

    fulfilling volunteer options. Make this a family affair and bake at TI with your spouse, older kids, or parents; come by yourself to mingle with friends and make new ones; or bring a

    friend and fulfill a mitzvah together!
