Jewish students in New York show their appreciation to Israeli soldiers by sending them Mishloach Manot. The Brooklyn chapter of the Zionist Organization of America, headed by Rubin Margules, organized a campaign amongst various schools to send Purim gifts to the soldiers. Students from schools such as HALB, Yeshiva of Flatbush, Ateres Yisroel, Derech Hatorah, Ramaz, and SAR showed their appreciation by adding personal letters to the food packages they sent the soldiers. The baskets were delivered personally by Mr. Margules and representatives of the Sar El (service to Israel) army volunteer program. \"It was really inspiring to read the students\' letters that spoke of their great respect and positive feelings for Israeli soldiers in these difficult times,\" Margules said, explaining that the goal was to \"create a bond between the Jews living outside of Israel and those who are fighting Israel\'s wars.\"
