The events & story of Purim are a font of wisdom and guidance, replete with insights into the deeper meaning of life and lessons in how it should be lived - join us!
Just 3 days left to take advantage of this great opportunity!! Our Mishloach Manot Campaign is in full swing with the anticipated participation of over 100 families in the community. Each participating family will receive a magnificent package filled with tempting treats along with a list of all families who took part in this project. Therefore, you will not need to send individual Shalach Manot to those families who participate. You can be included and purchase these packages by sending a check, payable to Chabad of the Five Towns, by March 13th or submit your purchase online. Baskets are to be picked up at Chabad, on the night of Purim or the Sunday evening preceding, March 20, 7:00 - 9:00 pm. We are asking everyone to participate, as it will benefit us all by alleviating any "pre-purim jitters."
