Purim 2025

As we are getting closer to the holiday of Purim, we think about how often we get to fulfill a mitzvah by spreading joy, feasting, festivity, and VOLUNTEERING! The YLE department is looking for volunteers to fulfill the mitzvah of PACKING and or DELIVERING our Mishloach Manot Gifts. In just a few hours, and without going far, you can make sure your friends and neighbors get Purim joy right on their doorstep. Please join our PACKING and or DELIVERY teams and join the fun. Click HERE to sign up to pack, deliver or do both! Sunday, March 2nd is our packing day and first delivery day.
