One of Purim’s most joyful mitzvot is Mishloach Manot — sending food or treats to others in our community to spread happiness and connection. This year, everyone in our CBI community will receive a special Mishloach Manot bag, available for pickup either at the Purim Carnival (Sunday, March 1) or at the Megillah Reading & Shpiel on Purim night (Monday, March 2).

Beyond the hamentaschen sugar rush, this tradition makes a real impact: Mishloach Manot is the primary annual fundraiser for our Education and Youth Departments, supporting the programs that nurture our children, teens, and families all year long. Your generosity helps ensure vibrant Jewish learning experiences for all our kids.

All contributions will be recognized on a beautifully designed Purim card included in each bag.

One important note: Unlike past years, the Youth Department will not be seeking separate sponsorship for Purim booths. This is our one and only combined Purim fundraiser, so your participation truly makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us turn Purim joy into lasting impact. May your Purim be filled with laughter, generosity, and just the right amount of silliness.

Chag Purim Sameach!
