The festival of Purim 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.” It is celebrated with Megillah readings, gifts of food, charity, feasting, and merriment.

Purim is a time of joy, giving, and caring for one another. Let’s make sure every family in our community can celebrate with dignity and happiness!
