[RBS] Fw: Fw: I have a great idea to encourage achdus. new dropoff locations

[Sara Dina Golembo]

2 new Dropoff locations for the Purim Achdus Project!
 
People are very excited about this project but we need more donations of goodies, gift bags. or even complete Mishloach manot.
 
Every little bit of help makes a difference---and nothing is really little.
 
Thanks for all the great comments and support.
We can do this.

>>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. 
>>  
>>Please deliver to us no later than Taanis Esther, March 7th
