Upside Down X Jews for Jesus Los Angeles Presents:

In the biblical story of Esther, the Jews of Persia are threatened with extinction by Haman and all those who hated God’s people.  Mordecai appealed for Esther’s help: “For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14)

The Jewish holiday of Purim is when Jewish people remember and celebrate this story. This year Purim falls on March 14th. One of the Purim traditions has been to send gifts called mishloach manot, literally “sending of portions” to celebrate the joy of the Lord’s deliverance of His people. 

This year we’d like to help you to shower blessings and encouragement on your Jewish friends, neighbors and co-workers through mishloach manot too! Our hope is that through these gifts, you can share with them that, as believers in Messiah Jesus, you stand with the Jewish people and Israel in this dark time. 

See how you can be involved below!
