Purim 5785 at KI


Dear Members of our KI Family,

Once again, we invite you to celebrate Purim with your KI community and uplift the Jewish people and Israel in meaningful ways.

This year’s mishloach manot from KI will arrive via small businesses in Israel that are part of SparkIL, inviting you to lend strength to aspiring Israeli businesses. It enables our beloved State of Israel to flourish communally and commercially through loans (not donations). We hope you receive your Purim treats in the spirit of activating your partnership with a small business of your choice

Additionally, all proceeds from KI’s community mishloach manot program will support Leket, Israel’s largest Food Rescue Program. This will help grow Leket’s capacity to provide for families throughout Israel this Purim. Additional donations can be made here. And, as per our growing tradition, we will support our neighbors in need through our annual collection for Yad Chesed. A collection will take place during the Megillah reading as it has in recent years.


Thursday, March 13th – Schedule Below
