TI Mystery Maccabee
Calling adults of all ages who would like to have some fun!
Temple Israel is a special place but let's make it a little more special with a little bit of Hanukkah magic. Help us spread light during the darkness among our community with a surprise gift package during Hanukkah. Any Temple Israel individual or family (Hertz too!) may participate! (We encourage adults especially to have some fun during these crazy times that have certainly been stressful and trying for all!)
Please fill out the form https://forms.gle/SZbeFG9g9T3XsAg27
by Nov 20 to be matched. Another congregant will deliver a surprise to your doorstep one of the days/nights of Hanukkah. Get creative and have fun! Anything from a bottle of wine and chocolate to a back massager, cactus plant or Happy Llamakah mug is appropriate!
Once you’ve received it, please post a thank you with a photo on social media and hashtag #TIMysteryMaccabee so the secret giver knows you received it and we can share the love. We will also assign you a congregant to surprise to pay it forward.
A Few Rules:
1. If providing food or drink, please ensure its Kosher and PRE Packaged due to Covid.
2. Please consider supporting our local businesses!
3. Please do not spend any more than $20 total.
4. Please deliver any day during Hanukkah secretly.
5. If you sign up to be surprised, we will also match you with someone to surprise as well.
That's it! Get Clever! Have Fun!
