[RBS] Purim Achdus Project...we still need donations...the more we get, the more we give.

[Sara Dina Golembo]

**************** 
  
>>I have a great idea to encourage achdus. 
>>  
>>It really doesn't have to take that much time and the good waves that it might create are unimaginable. 
>>It's about opening hearts and I would love for you [as many people as possible]  to get involved. It's the call of the day.  
>>Each year my friend gives out Mishloach Manot to people in hospitals.  Her message: "You're important, you're not overlooked" rather "you're included in the festivities". 
>>I thought why not reach out to others who  might also feel "not included" - namely our unaffiliated Jewish brothers and sisters. 
>>  
>>So last Purim I and three very excited children went around Beit Shemesh giving out Mishloach Manot to people that we don't know. 
>>The  reactions were special. 
>> Last year on Purim... 
>>  
>>An old man sitting on a bench was watching the cars pass by when suddenly a boy dressed as a clown  gave him a Mishloach Manot with a hearty, "Purim Sameach!"  The man came to life. 
>>A soldier waiting for his bus smiled when he was handed a wrapped package of goodies with a big smile and another "Purim Sameach!"  He was still waving as we drove off. 
>>The 2 teenagers who received their Mishloach Manot seemed genuinely pleased and might just feel differently about those "religious people". 
>>These and many more were some of the positive reactions we received when we gave out Mishloach Manot to our fellow Jews from various walks of life in Beit Shemesh.
>>
>>
>>This is a project that all of us can do: 
>>Take upon yourself to give out Mishloach Manot to people that you wouldn't ordinarily connect with, who might be distant  from the Torah 
>>Or simply donate either completed  Mishloachei Manot or money/goodies to make up mishloachei Manot and we'll deliver  them for you on Purim.  
>>
>> 
>> The good that could come out of it is what Ahavas Yisroel and Achdus is all about. 
>> You never know whose heart  you might open. 
>>
