One Purim tradition is the sending of Shalach Manot, little plates of treats, to family and friends. Since we are one big Temple Hesed Family, this year, we want to arrange for every Hesed family to receive shalach manot this year!
This is how it will work: some volunteers, including bat mitzvah student Sascha Novak, will bake hamentashen and other goodies, which will be dropped off at the Temple. Additional volunteers will help assemble the plates. Then, on the Sunday before Purim, February 21st, from 10 am to 1 pm, we will invite Temple Hesed members to come pick up their plate from a table we will have set up outside. Rabbi Daniel, who will be vaccinated by then, will be there to supervise and to greet everyone, masked and from at least 6 feet away. We’ll keep track of who has picked up the plates, and Rabbi Daniel along with other volunteers will attempt to drop the remaining plates off, again making sure to observe proper masking and social distancing. Our hope is that Rabbi Daniel and other volunteers will be able to personally greet all of the families that make up our Temple family.
If you’d like to volunteer to help out, please leave a message at the Temple office, 570-344-7201, or email us at templehesed@comcast.net
We will also be sending out reminders of this program in the weeks prior, so that as many people can participate as possible.
