Question
Is there a traditional “gift bag” that is given to friends on Purim, and what is in it?
Answer
On Purim, Jews have a commandment to share gifts of food with each other, as a way of increasing kindness between us. In Hebrew, this commandment is referred to as Mishloach Manot, and you must give two or more kosher, prepared foods to one person. Of course, if you want to give Mishloach Manot to more than one person, you are certainly able to do so.
Have a Happy Purim!
