Purim in Canada - Kosher Gift Baskets


Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.



PURIM - Commemorates the deliverance of Persian Jews from their intended destruction by Haman, the Prime minister of King Ahasuerus also called Xerxes (470 BC). The holiday is marked by the reading of the Megillah (The Biblical Book of Esther) which recounts the details of how Queen Esther and Mordecai managed to thwart Haman's plot.



Because of its uniquely joyful nature, Purim is the occasion for parties and other festivities. It is customary to send food gifts and Gift Baskets ('mishloach manot') to friends and to distribute charity. A special festive meal ('purim seudah') is held on Purim afternoon.



A special pastry called Hamantaschen, which is said to resemble Haman's hat, is eaten. Read from the Megillah (The Book of Esther). Adults and children come dressed in Biblical Costume as Esther, Mordecai, King Ahasuarus, or Haman (Boooooo!) and let’s Nosh some Hamantashen. When the name of Haman is mentioned, make as much noise as possible!!!!!



As usual, Gifts for Every Reason once again has PURIM gift baskets delivering anywhere in Canada.  This year, enjoy a special treat with FREE Delivery anywhere in Ontario AND Quebec. Send your loved ones a fun and tasty gift this Purim.  Toronto,  Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Montreal, Quebec and more!

Happy Purim - Kosher Gift Baskets

Purum is a festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire from Haman's plot to annihilate them. According to the story, Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to exterminate the Jews, but his plans were foiled by Esther, his queen.



Morecai, a palace official, cousin and foster parent of Esther, subsequently replaced Haman as the new King. The The Jews were delivered from being the victims of an evil decree against them and were instead allowed by the new King to destroy their enemies, and the day after the battle was designated as a day of feasting and rejoicing.



Purim is characterized by public recitation of the Book of Esther (keriat ha-megilla), giving mutual gifts of food and drink (Mishloach Manot), giving charity to the poor (mattanot la-evyonim), and a celebratory meal (se'udat Purim); other customs include drinking wine, wearing of masks and costumes, and public celebration - and of course, sending one of our delicious Kosher Gift Baskets!



Don't let Purim go by this year without sending a fun and oh so yummy gift basket to loved ones.

Rosh Hashanah - Jewish New Year

Happy Kosher New Year or Rosh Hashanah!

The Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah literally means the “head of the Year”, or the New Year. It is a deeply religious occasion symbolising the Day of Judgment, the Day of Remembrance, and the Day of Shofar Blowing. (a Ram's Horn)

On Rosh Hashanah, it is customary for families to gather together for the holiday meal. Traditional sweet foods, round challah, honey and apples are served, symbolizing sweetness, blessings, abundance and the hope for a sweet year ahead.Other customs are the sounding of the Shofar (a Ram’s horn blown somewhat like a trumpet), candle lighting, special prayers, reciting the Kiddush and the blessing of the Challah.

As always, Gifts for Every Reason has a variety of traditional Kosher Rosh Hashana gifts to send to loved ones. (Click here to view). All items used are clearly labeled with Kosher symbols. Customization is available and quantities are limited. Order early for best selection.

Traditions of Sitting Shiva - Shiva Gifts & Gift Baskets

 In the Jewish mourning tradition, mourners of the deceased will usually sit shiva. As someone close to the mouner or to the deceased, it is appropriate that you pay a shiva call.

A shiva call takes place usually in the mourner's home. Often before entering the shiva house, there will be some water and hand towels which you can use to purify your hands. Especially on the first day if coming from the cemetary, washing your hands is appropriate. When entering the house, you may notice a tall candle burning. Since shiva takes place for 7 days, these candles are designed to burn for 7 days and are often provided by the funeral home.

The mourners typically have the mirrors covered, may not wear make up or shave. It's also common for those in mourning during the shiva period to sit lower than everyone else. This is a sign of humility and being brought closer to the earth.

As is typical for Jewish get-togethers, there is often quite a bit of food and drinks available. It is common for the friends and Jewish community to provide enough food for the mourners because they aren't epected to entertain guests or even to do their own cooking during the shiva period.

You should feel comfortable to bring some food to leave at the shiva house. This is always appreciated and is better than bringing flowers or other types of gifts and yes, you should bring kosher food.

It's common that the mourners may not greet their guests and this is not considered rude. You're free to come into the shiva house, walk around and talk with whomever you wish. It's appropriate to greet the mourner with "I'm sorry for your loss" or "If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know". This is better than "How are you" as clearly they are not well emotionally.

The period of shiva is dedicated to grieving and so if the mood in the house is solemn. It is very appropriate to tell a story about the deceased or to share some memories. Sometimes there will be a photo album on the table and it's appropriate to look through it with or without the mourner with you.

If you're not comfortable bringing food, another great gift is to make a donation to a charity that the deceased supported. For example, if they were close emotionally with Israel, you can plant a tree in Israel. If they were supporters of education, you can make a charitable contribution for that. Often at the funeral they will announce a charity that has been selected by the family.

Although the best way to show your support to the family in mourning is in person, it is also appropriate to send a card or a Kosher Shiva Gift Basket if you cannot make a shiva call if you are out of town or for other reasons.

The Best place to find authentic Kosher Shiva Gift Baskets to send anywhere in Canada is, Gifts for Every Reason. Free Delivery anywhere in ONTARIO AND QUEBEC !  All Kosher Baskets are clearly labelled with Kosher symbols to easily identify items.
