Sadly — there's not too much interest. *sigh*

I'm going to close the comments, as we've run out of time to organize the swap.

Maybe next year!

Hi, Carly.
Well, my Mishloah-Manot-Swap details are:
1. I'm vegetarian. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs. dairy is fine.
2. I live in Israel. I'll prefer sending a Mishloah-Manot to someone in the holyland, middle-east or europ – but if not, the US is fine too.

Purim Sameah!
-Dotan.

what I was trying to say is that you better know who are (if any) the folks that live out of the US, and where do they live – before matching.

I'll email everyone privately and gather the mailing addresses — or supply swap partners with each other's email addresses and they can get the information themselves.

Great! you would need to ask people to write their addresses, though.

You can most certainly participate. If other Israelis get involved then I'll try to match you to each other to save on shipping/customs issues.

But I definitely this would be even better with a little international connection!

And of course, I would encourage my Israeli friends to show some love to those currently serving in the IDF, too.

Hi, Carly.
first of – we say "Mishloah' Manot" (משלוח מנות), meaning "delivery of portions".
secondly, can people from Israel take part in the swap?
