“Chasdei Naomi arrived here and threw us a Purim Party with Music, Gifts, and food fit for Kings!” -Says IDF Commander Hagai
In a heartfelt continuation of their Purim initiatives, Chasdei Naomi non-profit charity organization, went above and beyond to uplift the spirits of IDF soldiers stationed at Fort Shura Base, the Center for Treating Fallen Soldiers.
In a remarkable display of compassion and solidarity, the organization organized a joyous Purim party, complete with a warm meal, entertainment, and the distribution of Mishloach Manot Purim care packages.
Purim Celebration
Volunteers and staff members from Chasdei Naomi, arrived at Fort Shura Base with enthusiasm and determination. Dressed in vibrant mascot-style costumes representing various animals, they brought an uplifting energy to the base, spreading smiles and laughter.
The festivities kicked off with lively music and dancing, creating an atmosphere of celebration and camaraderie. Soldiers and staff alike joined in the celebration, letting go of the stresses of military life for a few precious moments to enjoy the spirit of Purim.
As the aroma of a warm, home-cooked meal filled the air, soldiers gathered eagerly to partake in the feast. Prepared with love and care by volunteers from Chasdei Naomi, the meal provided a comforting reminder of home and family for those serving far from their loved ones.
A Purim Surprise
One of the most touching moments of the event came when the Founder of Chasdei Naomi, the renowned Rabbi Yossef Cohen, made a special appearance despite his advanced age and fragile medical condition. With unwavering dedication to the cause he holds dear, Rabbi Cohen personally distributed Mishloach Manot Purim care packages to each soldier, sharing words of encouragement and gratitude.
The Mishloach Manot packages, filled with an assortment of treats and essentials, served as a tangible expression of appreciation for the sacrifices made by the brave men and women of the IDF. From grape juice and halva to cookies and chocolate, each item was carefully selected to bring joy and comfort to its recipient.
As the festivities drew to a close, the soldiers expressed their heartfelt thanks to Chasdei Naomi for brightening their Purim celebration and lifting their spirits during their time at Fort Shura Base. The event served as a poignant reminder of the power of community, compassion, and unity in bringing hope and happiness to those in need.
