Purim Brings Pasta

At my synagogue someone realized years ago that boxes of pasta make great groggers. Every year on Purim, the youth group, without even being asked, buys about 3 dozen boxes of rotini and sells them for two dollars each before the Megillah reading. The purchasers receive boxes of pasta to use as groggers for the evening that they then donate to Family Table when the evening ends. It is a win-win situation. Of course, we still need about 30 more boxes of crackers before March 14, but I'm sure within the next few weeks, my fellow congregants will also provide the crackers to which we have already committed. It's too bad you can't shake cracker boxes...
