Shalach Manot for Purim

The Jewish Pavilion is looking forward to many wonderful Purim celebrations with seniors this month. The festivities include reenacting the Purim story with costumes and props, enjoying Hamantaschen, and plenty of laughter and music. Thanks to The Jewish Pavilion, more than 400 residents will receive Shalach Manot gift bags.

The Harper Family Foundation has been very generous to the Jewish Pavilion, supporting intergenerational programs, the Orlando Senior Help Desk, and special events. While the family members do not celebrate Purim, they embrace the tradition of "Shalach Manot," giving gifts and letting people know that they are cared for.

This year Orlando's 2021 Women's Momentum trip assembled 40 Shalach Manot gift bags for Jewish and non-Jewish residents at Savannah Court in Maitland. The Jewish Pavilion serves all faiths when visiting senior living communities.
