Ukrainian Jews will mark a third Purim under the endless war with Russia. In recent days, huge trucks have set out directly from the Jewish Relief Network Ukraine (JRNU), carrying thousands of Mishloach Manot shipments to various destinations within Ukraine.
The beautiful packages will reach rabbis and Chabad Shluchim, who lead the Jewish communities, and will be distributed to the many Jews of the country during the Purim holiday.
Included in the shipments are wine, various sweets, hamantaschen, an illustrated Megillah, colorful graggers, and a guide detailing all the holiday’s Mitzvos.
Over the past few days, dedicated volunteers have assembled the packages, which will be delivered to the Jewish communities as part of the festive Purim events during the holiday. The rabbis will hold Megillah readings around the clock, host elaborate Purim meals, and spread joy to the Jewish communities and villages.
Living under continuous threat, Purim events allow the country’s Jews a time of joy and upliftment amidst the situation in the hope of the war’s end and the return of tranquility to their lives.
“The personal distribution of Mishloach Manot to every Jew is carried out following the directive of the Rebbe to bring the joy of Purim to every Jew, even in the most remote place,” the JRNU said.
