Amazing packet from Israel

This morning an amazing packet arrived. I took part in Mishloach Manot initiative through Couchsurfing and this is what I got in return!
Idea is to send ready-to-eat food for Purim, as they do to neighbours,friends,relatives in Israel but this time someone from abroad sent their goodies and then got a packet from Israel back. And boy,what a package I received! You can see the size of it as you'll compare it to my toddler :)

The package included chocolate-covered wafer,chocolate covered nuts,pack of dried nuts and fruits,chocolate bars,salty snacks,halva and a sachet of falafel spice mix. Besides the foods there was little musical instruments and noise-making-thingies as well as masks we would wear if we were in Israel as everybody dresses up and they go to synagoge and everytime name "Haman" is read out loud, everybody puts up a horrid noise with all those noise-making-thingies...Can you imagine!? :D

On top of all this, this packet had the most beautiful little book of Psalms,which is supposed to bring protection if carried along and also semi-precious stones and a lovely letter explaining all the customs and how to make falafel :)...Oh and a cd of traditional Israelite music! Just awesome!

I'll post the pics of the little treasures in another texts,thanks to Blogger or my brains which do not understand each other :)
