Description:

I rarely see swaps for Jewish holidays, so here we are. Purim, 3/17, is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, a Persian Empire official who was planning to kill all the Jews in the empire, as recounted in the Book of Esther. Haman was the royal advisor to King Ahasuerus. When he failed, we dress up in costumes and have celebrations. There are 4 traditions to fulfill for the holiday, one of them is giving Mishloach Manot, a gift to a friend with at least 2 items.

For this swap, send your partner a notecard, write what your Purim plans are, what your costume will be, or anything else relating to the holiday!

Then add in 2 things for your partner like stickers, washi tape, postcards, etc. You can check their profile for ideas but it is not mandatory, the idea is to spread the holiday cheer. Bonus points if you have anything Purim to include

Sorry, the turnaround is so fast, Purim is 3/17 and I hope your letters will arrive on time!

Please only send what you want to receive.

Happy Purim :)
