Hamantaschen and Purim Baskets

By Madelene Weinberger

We want to thank everyone that ordered hamantaschen and/or Purim baskets. Both projects were extremely successful for Sha’are Shalom.

At a marathon baking session of over seven hours, we prepared the dozens of hamantaschen we sold and enough for the baskets and Purim Party, in all, over 1000 hamantaschen.

This was the first year that we offered the baskets, and we are happy to say that 44% of the congregants placed orders. We are hoping that this idea will grow and that next year we will have even better participation.

We sincerely hope that all the recipients enjoyed the baskets and hamantaschen.
Neither project would have been possible without the help of the following women:
Bakers: Sandy Blake, Jackie Schoch, Joan Troncoso, Elaine McVinney, and Lynn Weinberger.
Baskets: Sandy Blake, Linda Thomas, Joan Troncoso, Jackie Schoch, Michele Uhler and Lynn Weinberger.
Ladies, I can never thank you enough!!
