There are four mitzvot associated with Purim. They are:
- give gifts to loved ones, friends and neighbors,
- make donations to the poor,
- hear the story of Purim and
- have a Festive Meal.
We at Temple Shirat Shalom are dedicated to always honoring our tradition. In that end the confirmation class is making Shalach Manot baskets for our senior members and those who have been ill this year. We will be delivering the baskets to them this week. We are also having a Purim celebration on the night of Purim Wednesday March 7. We will be eating festive pizza and reading the megillah in a number of ways some “serious” and some amusing. To fulfill the mitzvah of giving donations to the poor I urge everyone to make a donation to the Kosher Food Pantry, of Jewish Family Service of the Lehigh Valley. We will also accept donations at the event. Meidan Keidar, JFLV, sh’licha will be helping us make this Purim special. The festivities will begin at the Wescosville Recreation Center at 6:15 PM. Please check our Website for details .
Chag Sameach Purim, have a wonderful Purim holiday!
