Chai Center to Host Purim Party

Chai Center to Host Purim Party

            Chai Center for Jewish Life will hold a Purim Party on Saturday, March 15, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at The Barons of Basking Ridge Clubhouse. 

Purim celebrates the time in Persia during King Ahasuerus’ rule when Queen Esther prevented an evil prime minister from destroying the Jewish community.

            The evening’s celebration will provide a variety of fun activities for the entire family. Following a Havdalah service marking the end of Shabbat, the party will feature a reading of the Megillah, the Book of Esther.   It will be accompanied by a Purim Spiel, a humorous play retelling the story.  There will also be games and activities for children.

            The party will include wine sampling for the adults and a dessert reception for everyone.  Attendees are encouraged to come in costume or a mask and bring a dessert to share. Admission is free and open to the public.

            The Barons Clubhouse is located on Dexter Drive North, Basking Ridge.  For more information, or to RSVP, email Info@ChaiCenterNJ.org or call 908-864-7788.
