SUPPORT THE MISHLOACH MANOT FUND & PRE-ORDER HAMANTASCHEN

Help fulfill the Mitzvot of Mishloach Manot (sending gifts) and Matanot La’evyonim (giving to the poor) as we raise funds to send Purim goodies to our community. All donations made through Monday, February 16th will be included on the scroll in our Mishloach Manot bags.

Order a dozen ($15) or half-dozen ($8) of one flavor or an assortment by Monday, February 23rd. All proceeds benefit the Rafi Schwartz Religious School.

CELEBRATE PURIM WITH KOL AMI!

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We are looking for 50 drivers! If you have a car and a little bit of time, this is a wonderful opportunity to help spread joy and take part in a meaningful Purim mitzvah.

We also need volunteers to help bag hamantaschen and assemble Mishloach Manot packages—another great way to lend a hand and be part of the celebration!

Contact adminassistant@conkolami.org to sign up to help!

GET INVOLVED!

FOOD DRIVE BENEFITTING JFS

Due to ongoing food insecurity in our community, we are collecting non-perishable items benefitting Jewish Family Service's Food Pantry. A bin is located in the West Foyer.

Some of the most needed items include: protein sources, shelf-stable dairy, baby items, cleaning supplies, cooking essentials, and condiments.

CANTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE UPDATE

We are currently interviewing candidates from both the Conservative and Reform movements and will keep you up to date on the process.

Please reach out to the committee with any comments or questions at cantorsearch@conkolami.org
