| PuRim @ CNS 5770! (Shabbat/Saturday Evening, Feb. 27th & Sunday Feb 28)
| | | | | Purim 5770 at Netivot Shalom is going to be a blast! See below for the Purim schedule and for fun resources for adults and kids! As the Mitzvot of Purim are hearing the Megillah, giving Matanot La'evyonim (gifts for the needy), and sharing Mishloach Manot (sharing food with others), please consider: - Bringing boxes of Kosher pasta to use as graggers for Megillah reading, which can then be deposited into our shul's collection box for the Alameda Food Bank, and
- Giving Tzedakah to strengthen the Masorti Movement's Social Justice efforts in Israel.
