Gaily wrapped baskets of sweets, snacks and other foodstuffs given as mishloach manot on Purim day.
The Book of Esther prescribes “the sending of portions one man to another, and gifts to the poor” (9:22). Over time, this mitzvah has become one of the most prominent features of the celebration of Purim. According to the Halakha, each Jew over the age of bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah must send two different, ready made foods to one friend, and two charitable donations (either money or food) to two poor people, to fulfill these two mitzvot. The gifts to friends are called mishloach manot (”sending of portions”), and often include wine and pastries; alternately, sweets, snacks, salads or any foodstuff qualifies. Synagogues and Jewish schools often run a collective Mishloach Manot Fundraiser that manages the sending of Mishloach Manot baskets to all members. These projects are typically one of the best annual fundraisers in many synagogues and schools in the United States.
Although the sending of mishloach manot is technically limited to one gift for one friend, for some the custom has evolved into a major gift-giving event. Families often prepare dozens of homemade and store-bought food baskets to deliver to friends, neighbors, and relatives on Purim day.
This mishloach manot basket contains wine, tea, potato chips, chocolates and other treats.
Impressive baskets are also delivered to children’s teachers, school principals, parents’ bosses, doctors, and other service personnel with whom they have regular dealings throughout the year. This evolved custom has been a topic of debate among rabbinic authorities of late, due to the fact that the verse in the Megillah only mentions the sending of portions one man to ‘another’, which indicates one gift (consisting of 2 items) to only one man, while the verse clearly mentions “gifts to ‘the poor’”, which has been interpreted by halakha as requiring giving gifts to more than one person. This difference is to point out the importance of giving charity. Historically, the custom regarding giving mishloach manot was that during the day when people would be going to one another’s seudah (”meal”), they simply brought along two ready-made foods, because the person at whose house they were eating their seudah often did not have enough food, thus fulfilling their own obligation of mishloach manot. There is a misconception that mishloach manot must contain two different items of food that each requires a different berakhah (”blessing̶
to be said over it. In reality, two foods suffice even if they both require the same blessing.
In the synagogue, regular collections of charity are made on the festival and the money is distributed among the needy. No distinction was to be made among the poor; anyone who was willing to accept charity is allowed to participate. It is obligatory upon the poorest Jew, even one who is himself dependent on charity, to give to other poor people.
