About Purim
Purim, celebrated on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, is the most joyous and fun-packed day of the Jewish year. 2400 years ago, Haman, the Persian prime-minister, persuaded King Ahasuerus to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all the Jews. Mordechai, the leader of the Jews, rallied his people, urging them to unite in prayer and repentance. Meanwhile, his cousin Esther, who due to a miraculous chain of events was Ahasuerus' queen, lobbied the king to spare her people.
Ahasuerus acceded to her request, Haman was sent to the gallows, Mordechai became new prime-minister and the Jews successfully defended themselves against their enemies. Each year Purim is celebrated with much rejoicing and festivities. The day is observed by: (a) listening to the story of Purim (the Megillah) (b) giving charity to the poor (c) sending gifts of food to each other (d) enjoying a festive meal. It is also customary to dress up in costume, as an additional form of celebration.
Admission to the party is Adult $14, Child $8, family $36, sponsor $180. Reservations are appreciated. Please visit www.ChabadJewishCenter.us to make your reservation.
