Hangover Helper Mishloach Manot
We love Purim, but we have to admit that it’s a recipe for disaster. A population not known for its ability to hold its liquor is commanded to fast all day, then drink so much they can’t distinguish between “Blessed Be Mordecai” and “Cursed Be Haman.” This results, all too predictably, in another tradition: the Purim morning hangover.
With this in mind, we present Hangover Helper mishloach manot. Sure, hamantaschen and rugelach are nice, but if you’re like us, the last thing you want to see on a queasy Purim morning is prune filling. This thoughtful basket is stocked with all your Hebrew hangover needs instead. L’Chaim!
You will need:
A basket (or bucket, or trash can, as circumstances dictate)
Tissue paper
Aspirin
Eye mask
Earplugs
Saltines
Airsickness bags
Hair of the dog (vodka, Manischewitz, slivovitz or whatever you like)
-
Line basket with tissue paper and fill with hangover helper goodies.
-
Deliver to the afflicted.
-
Be happy! It’s Purim!

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
