Purim Pasta Groggers
Please remember to bring a food that will make noise when shaken – to drown out the name of Haman during the Megillah reading & then to drown out hunger in our community when you deposit your alternate (and edible) “grogger” in the CKP (Capital Kosher Pantry) box located in most of Silver Spring’s Shuls. Food must be kosher in sealed non-breakable containers, shelf stable and within the use by date. Thanks so much for helping your neighbors!! |
