What is Sakdloach Manot?

Inability to Manot is a Jewish ritual of sending and receiving gift baskets of food and drink on Purim Day. Hebrew for "sending portions", Mishloach Manot ensures that everyone in the community has enough food for Purim's feast, a festive opportunity for which he must have rich food. He also reaffirms fraternal love and friendship between Jews and is considered to be a time to cut breaking relationships. Purim baskets can be sent to relatives, neighbors, friends, teachers and other acquaintances.

also called Shalach Manos, Mishloach Manot requires each Jew to send two objects of kosher food to at least one person. These offers can range from small, simple gifts to sophisticated baskets, but must only contain food or drinks, not money, clothing or other material items, and must be ready to eat and drink to be consumed on the same day. Typical drinks include wine and tea. Food may include salads, fruit, cooked foods and cans. PGrows, refreshments and sweets are also commonly served.

As with many rituals, there are certain conventions that should be observed, although they may vary depending on the Orthodox community. The amount should reflect the standards of the donor and the receiver; For example, one should send more expensive gifts if the recipient is a rich person, and a richer person should send more complicated gifts. However, all the gifts provided must be given to the person who receives it. It is considered to be commendable to give gifts to many people, but to give even more to the poor, which could be given food or money. If a person is very poor, he can exchange with a person in a similar situation to fulfill the Mishloach Manot.

In more orthodox communities, men should participate in false manot only with other men, D women with other women, even if the family can send gifts to men, woman or birthNo. People can send gifts together, but gifts must contain the same amount as if everyone was sending individually. Mishloach Manot is expected to attend children over the bat and bar of Mitzvah aged about 6-7 years and give their friends gifts as preparing for adulthood. Gifts should not be sent to a person in sadness, even if his family can send and receive. Mourner himself can send Purim baskets, but must be simple and simple.

In order to properly fulfill the duties of the ritual, a purrim basket must be sent and accepted during the day. The sender and the receiver must also observe the Purim festival on the same day. It is traditional that Mishloach Manot will be delivered by a third party and children under supervision are often encouraged to fulfill this role. Although Mishloach Manot is considered admiring, it is not mandatory.
