Preparing for Purim in Jerusalem 2015


In two days time it will be Purim and this is one of those special times of the year when being in Israel is THE BEST place for a Jew. You just need to take a walk down the road and you will find all kinds of stores filled with costumes and gifts.


 Whether it is the entrance of a store that sells an array of accessories..


 The corner kiosk that usually sells snacks, drinks and flowers.


A sweet store or a stationery / hobby shop..

Everyone is involved in the theme of preparing for Purim.


There are all kinds of baskets, pretty bags and containers, nosh, treats and more..



With all the excitement, one of the very special central themes of Purim is to take care of those in need. This is done by giving Matanot Le'Evyonim, which in English is gifts to the poor. These gifts are not the pretty gifts with chocolates, drinks and other nosh. These gifts are monetary ones to help those less fortunate or in need for whatever reason to have the finances to pay for their expenses.

We hope you have enjoyed the photo's that illustrate the atmosphere of Israel and invite you to join us in giving Matanot Le'Evyonim.

Please visit our website or be in touch. Purim is JUST two days away to time is of the essence.

We look forward to hearing from you
