Purim

Purim

The holiday of Purim brings happiness and joy at the miraculous saving of the Jewish people. There are Megillah readings, costumes, hamentaschen, Mishloach Manos and festive meals.

But for those whose lives have been forever changed due to terror and war, the celebrations can often be very painful as they remember their losses.

CTVP understands and ensures that the spirit of Purim is brought to these families so that they can share in the joy even though their pain is not forgotten.

They are invited to Megillah readings at Chabad Houses around the country. Deliveries of beautiful Mishloach Manos baskets filled with a variety of foods are sent to their homes. And festive Purim dinners are organized in communities all over so that these families can be part of this traditional meal.
