Dear Mr. Oppenheimer,

Shalom Aleichem. It is my honor to inform you that we are restoring the sacred Commandment of giving a Half-Shekel on Purim, commencing with Purim of 5758, to coincide with the 50th year celebrations in 1998.

We are informing you of this now in order to give you enough time to develop your new product for Purim 1998; a shofar-shaped box of Half-Shekel chocolates. If you go into production before the new coins' design is released, we would recommend using the motif of the First Rebellion Half-Shekel which we would be happy to provide you with.

You can find a complete archive of the restoration of the Half-Shekel on the Internet at; israelvisit.co.il/beged-ivri.

Thank you for your contribution to Jewish tradition as reflected in all your holiday products.

G-d Bless,

Reuven Prager
Beged Ivri

Dear Mr. Cohen,

Shalom. I am sure that it is not every day that someone gives you a free million dollar idea. What is surprising is the lack of courtesy, of a reply, a thank you, not even a free candy bar.

I would like to add to my suggestion; make the shofar-shaped container a noise maker for Purim and you will sell double the amount.

If you would like to match the chocolate coin design with the ceremonial coins which went into production on 14 Adar II, we would be happy to supply you with the motif.

G-d Bless,

Reuven Prager
