Dear Friend,

As the joyous festival of Purim approaches, Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob is ready to embark upon the thirtieth annual Mishloach Manot project. This year Purim starts on Thursday evening, March 13th. One of the beautiful traditions associated with Purim is that of Mishloach Manot - the sending of food packages to friends, family and acquaintances.

We are pleased to be able to continue to provide an opportunity for you to easily participate in this tradition. You, along with everyone on the enclosed list, will receive a hand-delivered Mishloach Manot package prepared by members of Congregation Beth Abraham-Jacob. In order to participate in this program, please follow these steps:

Online order form, pricing and easy payment at:
