10,000 letters for 10,000 soldiers

Last week in Jewish Studies, Year 3 made some cute cards to send to the International Young Israel Movement in Jerusalem as part of their ‘10,000 letters for 10,000 soldiers’ campaign to send in Mishloach Manot baskets for Purim. Sending Mishloach Manot (food gifts to friends and those in need) is one of the Mitzvot (commandments) of Purim in order to make sure that everyone has enough food to have a little feast on Purim. A big thanks to Julia Tritsch for finding out about this great organisation!
