2025 Shalach Manot & Hamentaschen Baking
Continuing with our Har Shalom tradition, every congregant, preschool family, and religious school family will receive a gift bag of treats, or shalach manot, at their home, delivered by a community volunteer. This cherished tradition, rooted in ancient practices, symbolizes the importance of community and kinship during this festive time.
As our community has grown and the cost of ingredients continues to increase, we are grateful for your donations to offset the cost of baking and other shalach manot items. For this year to be successful, please fill out the Purim form (at the bottom of this page) to donate or to volunteer your time as a hamentaschen baker, package assembler, or delivery driver. If you will not be in town when boxes are delivered, please email purim@nocoharshalom.org to let us know. Your Purim treats will be available for pickup at Har Shalom when you return.
