The Purim gift bags are packed and ready for delivery. Please help deliver them to all BAS congregants!

We hope that all BAS members will take part in this joyful custom and now established BAS observance that commemorates the joy of the Persian Jews' liberation from Haman's threats.

Here are some congregant reactions to our program in past years:

“ . . . The faces of the people as they got their packages were a real gift – puzzled, surprised, and then so grateful and moved! It made me so happy!”

“I just want you to know what a joy it was for me to participate, even for the small amount of time I was able to give. It made my holiday much more fun and meaningful.”

“I had tears in my eyes when I opened that bag. It really means a lot to me.”
