Purim How-To
The festival of Purim is celebrated every year on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar (late winter/early spring). It commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot “to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day.”
To relive the miraculous events of Purim, we do the following four Mitzvot.
We will be having a Megillah reading on Saturday evening, March 11th, 8pm at 57 Country Lane.
On Sunday, March 12th, the Megillah reading will take place 5pm at The Terraces, 92 Dean Av. Click here for details.
All are welcome!
