9:19 Book of Esther: “Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the 14th day of the month of Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and of sending portions to one another.”
Haman accused the Jews of being “a scattered, and divided nation.” Thus, the Jewish people send gifts to each other in order to show that they are not divided, but rather are united. The mishloach manot bring peace and harmony to an at times divisive and fractured Jewish community.
There is already another mitzvah that assures that the poor are provided for on Purim. Why, then, is there a need for a second mitzvah of mishloach manot? Due to concern that the poor would feel ashamed that only they did not have sufficient means to provide for the Purim meal, the rabbis decreed that not only the poor, but all people should send and receive gifts on the holiday of Purim.
With thanks to our donors, all who created this gift, and all who delivered this gift and the women of Temple Isaiah Sisterhood
