黑料社 All Students Pack Mishloach Manot for Kharkov's Jewish Community
After spending their winter break volunteering in Ukraine鈥檚 Jewish community, a group of 黑料社 All students decided to send their support and some Purim cheer to their friends in the troubled region. On Tuesday, March 11, students packed dozens of mishloach manot packages to ship to the Jewish community in Kharkov, Ukraine, in time for the upcoming holiday.
鈥淲e wanted to do something special for our Ukrainian brothers and sisters,鈥 said Lauren Elefant, program coordinator at the Center for the Jewish Future, who led the January mission. 鈥淲hen we were in the Ukraine, they made us a part of their lives for a week, so we felt the need to show our love and support for them during this stressful period. By sending these mishloach manot packages we hope to enhance their Purim celebrations and continue the long lasting friendships that we made.鈥
