 BAGELS, ANYONE? GRAB ONE AT CHABAD!
The bagel table in the library on Sunday mornings is a big hit! Please feel free to take advantage of it. Congregants leaving the shul are invited to stop by for a bagel and coffee. Hebrew school parents are welcome to drop off their kids and then hang out in the library with other parents enjoying the chow. If you haven't yet experienced our bagel hour, stop by the library this Sunday - you'll surely enjoy the social atmosphere!

Community Shalach Manot - Purim Gift Baskets |
 |
 |
 It is a mitzvah to give gifts of food to friends on Purim. This is called
"Shalach Manot". One beautiful way to do this mitzvah is through the
community gifts baskets.
The way this works is this: Rather than every family preparing their own gift baskets to deliver to their friends, the shul organizes joint gift baskets. Every member of Chabad as well as Hebrew School and Day School families will receive one gift basket. Along with the basket will be a list of those families who "participated" in this particular basket, as their Purim gift to this particular family. (Size of basket will depend on number of families "participating").
The funds raised will go towards a Food Bank in Israel, so we are helping needy people in the process. It is also a great way of building community awareness and togetherness.
Watch your mail box for the forms. We ask that you fill them out and return them as soon as you possibly can so we can move ahead with ordering and delivering the baskets.
Our tech department is looking into the possibility of putting the entire
ordering process on line. We'll keep you posted.
