Mishloach Manot: Thank you to all those who participated in our Mishloach Manot fundraiser this year! Your baskets will be available for pick up when you come to shul for megilah reading. We wish to remind you that participating in this project does not fulfill the obligation of distributing Mishloach Manot on Purim.

Matanot Laevyonim: Before we can make our own plans to enjoy the holiday, we need to make sure others can enjoy it as well. Matanot laevyonim, giving to the poor, is a central mitzvah of Purim, and if you choose to give matanot l'evyonim through Stanton Street, please make your donation in advance of the holiday so that we know how much will be able to distribute to those in need.

If you are interested in volunteering or sponsoring Purim festivities, please email info@stantonstshul.com.

Purim Sameach!
