<DD>I have a great idea to encourage achdus.
<DD>
<DD>It really doesn't have to take that much time and the good waves that it might create are unimaginable.
<DD>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.
<DD>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".
<DD>I thought why not reach out to others who might also feel "not included" - namely our unaffiliated Jewish brothers and sisters.
<DD>
<DD>So last Purim I and three very excited children went around Beit Shemesh giving out Mishloach Manot to people that we don't know.
<DD style="RIGHT: auto">The reactions were special.
<DL style="RIGHT: auto">
<DD> Last year on Purim...
<DD>
<DD>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.
<DD>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.
<DD>The 2 teenagers who received their Mishloach Manot seemed genuinely pleased and might just feel differently about those "religious people".
<DD style="RIGHT: auto">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.<BR style="RIGHT: auto"><BR></DD></DL>
<DD style="RIGHT: auto">This is a project that all of us can do:
<DL style="RIGHT: auto">
<DD>Take upon yourself to give out Mishloach Manot to people that you wouldn't ordinarily connect with, who might be distant from the Torah
<DD style="RIGHT: auto">Or simply donate either completed Mishloachei Manot or money/goodies to make up mishloachei Manot and we'll deliver them for you on Purim. <BR></DD>
<DL style="RIGHT: auto">
<DD style="RIGHT: auto"><VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR> </DD></DL>
<DD> The good that could come out of it is what Ahavas Yisroel and Achdus is all about.
<DD> You never know whose heart you might open.
