What is Mishloach Manot

Mishloach manot are gifts of food or drink that are sent to family, friends and others on Purim day. The mitzvah of giving mishloach manot derives from the Book of Esther. It is meant to ensure that everyone has enough food for the Purim feast held later in the day, and to increase love and friendship among Jews and their neighbors.

According to the halakha, every Jew over the age of Bar and Bat Mitzvah should send a food gift consisting of two different types of food to at least one recipient. The food items should be ready to eat and require no further preparation. It is preferable that the mishloach manot be delivered through a third party, such as a child or a messenger.
