The Results of Our Mishloach Manot Fundraiser

To our dear Etz Ahaim community,

The Daughters of Etz Ahaim would like to thank all those who donated to our Mishloach Manot this Purim. We sincerely appreciate your support and enthusiasm!

Thanks to your generosity, we're excited to announce that we'll be able to send $700 to a charity in Israel. We've chosen Chasdei Naomi—a nonprofit organization that assists Holocaust survivors, soldiers, and families in need—as the beneficiary. 

May these good deeds carry us forward, and may we merit even more blessings as Pesah approaches!

Support Israel Through Our Mishloach Manot

To our beloved Etz Ahaim community,

Purim is right around the corner, and we can hardly believe it.

As we've done for the past few years, the Daughters of Etz Ahaim will be delivering a Mishloach Manot package to each family of Etz Ahaim on Purim day as a collective gift from the kahal.

This year, however, we want to give the community a chance to do another mitzvah through these Mishloach Manot, an important and beautiful mitzvah on its own. With Israel on all of our minds and in our hearts, we feel it is crucial to take every opportunity possible to support Am Yisrael in our actions, whether big or small.

And so, we're excited to announce that those who help sponsor Etz Ahaim's Mishloach Manot can also look forward to their donations benefiting Israel. Twenty percent of all the proceeds will go to a fund supporting Israel. We appreciate any amount from $18 to $360 or more.

Please feel free to make your donation online at etzahaim.org by clicking the "Donate" button on the web page. You can also mail your donation checks to 230 Denison St, Highland Park, NJ 08904. Please make them out to “Daughters of Etz Ahaim” and put “Mishloah Manot” in the memo.

Am Yisrael Chai!
Daughters of Etz Ahaim
