Gift baskets of at least two ready-to-eat foods sent to friends on Purim. Hamantaschen, chocolates, dried fruits, wine, and baked goods are all popular inclusions.
Purim Seudah Feast
A festive afternoon meal on Purim day, celebrated with family and friends. Wine is central: the Talmud commands drinking until 'ad d'lo yada.' A full holiday meal with meat and wine is traditional.
Kreplach
