Purim commemorates a time when the Jews living in ancient Persia were saved from extermination, as recounted in the Biblical Book of Esther. At this carnival-like celebration, adults will dress in costumes, eat, drink, and make merry. Congregants will perform the story of Purim as adapted to the popular tunes of the band, Queen. There will be a contest for the most creative "hamantashen" (Purim cookies).
The synagogue will also host a Purim children's carnival on Sunday, March 16, from 10 AM to 12 PM.
Etz Hayim invites everyone to visit and experience our warm welcome. For more information, see www.etzhayim.org or contact Rabbi Bryna Milkow at (603) 432-0004.
