Shaking a gragger
That’s right!Mishloach Manos is one of the 4 special Mitzvos of Purim!
We give 2 types of food to at least one person. The foods may be the same bracha, but not the same types of food.
We give Mishloach Manos during the day of
Purim, not at night.

Correct!Since Purim is on Thursday, March 8 this year, we hear the Megillah
on Wednesday night and on
Thursday morning.
Make sure to hear EVERY
word!
No talking from the first brachas until the after the last brachah!

We eat a festive meal because the whole story
of Purim revolved around parties.
Remember to say “Al
Hanissim” in bentching!
(and davening!)
Click to see how much money should one give for tzedakah (matanos l’evyonim)
2¢
$1,000,000½ Shekel
To 2 people, enough to
make a festive meal
Wonderful!Try to give the
Tzedakah early in the day, so that the
poor people will have time to buy
food for their meal. In many
communities, there is someone who
takes care of collecting this
money and distributing it to the
poor on Purim.
Giving Tzedakah brings people closer together. Purim is about unity among the Jewish People.
On Purim, we give Tzedaka to anyone
who asks.

Taking 1/4 of the dough, roll out on a lightly floured board to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Cut circles of dough with a drinking glass or round cookie-cutter. With your finger put water around the rim of the circle. Fill with 1 teaspoon poppy-seed or nut filling and fold into three-cornered cookies.

years!• According to the Medrash, Esther was 74 years

the first night of Pesach!• All of the letters of the Aleph-Bais are found in
