Program Description

Event Details

Dan Ravitch, Program and Camp Director of the Jewish Federation, will be joining us to discuss Purim. The holiday of Purim falls on the month of Adar in the Hebrew calendar, roughly February or March in the Gregorian calendar. This celebration is rich in history and tradition that dates back to the period of Jewish persecution under Persian rule, and historically is a time that requires a deeper look to understand the tales relevant today.  

Registration required.
