Send Mishloah Manot Packages for Purim! |
|
At Ahavas Israel it is easy to fulfill one of the mitzvot of Purim – the sending of Mishloach Manot (packages of food to friends). You can download the Mishloach Manot order form here.
Circle the names of the Ahavas Israel families to whom you would like to send a Mishloach Manot bag. The circled families will receive one package with a card listing the names of all the families who wished to send the package. Cost is $10 for the first package sent and $2 for each additional name that you select. If you prefer, you can send a package to ALL congregant for only $118. You may also send to non-congregants and the cost will be $10 per bag, or $5 per bag if more than one family sends to the same non-congregational family.
We will deliver the packages to families in the G.R. area. However, we do NOT ship to out-of-town recipients. (Members living out of town are identified on the form with an asterick *). Bags for snowbirds will be held in the office until they return (or the start of Passover). You must arrange for delivery of any other out of town recipients you may have ordered for.
Your order must be RECEIVED by February 24, 2012. We can use help stuffing the bags on Sunday morning, March 4, at 10 a.m.; and with delivery of bags on Thursday, March 8th. Contact Jan Lewis at 616-248-0659 or

It is Ahavas Israel's membership policy, whether you are unaffiliated or currently a member of another institution, to welcome you and thank you for your membership and participation at Ahavas Israel.
It is Ahavas Israel's dues policy to ask you to set your own level of yearly dues. We'll talk to you about the actual cost of running the synagogue and encourage you to take that into account, but the final decision as to your dues offering is yours.
For more information, please contact the chair of our membership committee, Diane Rayor. |
