Baltimore Shinshinim Present: The First Ever Baltimore Jewish Community Mishloach Manot Exchange!
It is a tradition on Purim (and also a mitzvah) to give others a mishloach manot, a Purim gift
basket full of goodies. Let’s celebrate this Purim, and make new friends, with a Mishloach
Manot exchange the way it is done in many communities in Israe
Getting started is easy:
• Register by Sunday, March 17 and tell us a bit about yourself and your dietary needs.
• We will take the information provided and make the matching magic happen!
• You will receive your match a few days before the holiday and deliver your Mishloach
Manot directly to them for Purim (March 24).
