Happy Purim!

We all remember from Hebrew School and growing up the basics of Purim-
wearing costumes and eating hamentashen.
We remember hearing about
Queen Esther, her Uncle Mordechai, and making a lot of noise when someone says Haman's name.
One other important aspect of Purim is
Mishloach Manot, or the Mitzvah of sending gifts of food to our friends. The mitzvah of Mishloach Manot is fulfilled by giving two different food items to one person. Many of us like to give to more than one person.
This year, JET is offering you a way to let others know you are thinking of them on Purim while
helping JET's students learn about and celebrate Purim.
Rather than send additional gifts of food,
why not make a donation to JET?
When you make your donation, please
give us the email address of the person that you would like a Purim e-card sent to from JET. We will then send out an e-card letting your friends know that a donation was made to JET in lieu of Mishloach Manot (see example below).
To learn more about Purim, and the mitzvah of giving Mishloach Manot, please visit
Aish.com's Purim website. Here you will find links to great articles, recipes, and interactive learning.
JET processes your donations securely using PayPal.
An account is not necessary for a one-time gift.
JET thanks you in advance for supporting our efforts.
