Purim Party at The Temple
The Temple Religious School and The Temple Brotherhood hosted a fantastic Purim Party at The Temple! Thank you everyone for coming out to our Purim Party!
Purim is celebrated by the reading of the Scroll of Esther, known in Hebrew as the Megillat Esther. This relates the basic story of Purim. Under the rule of King Ahashuerus, Haman, the King’s prime minister, plots to exterminate all of the Jews of Persia. His plan is foiled by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai, who ultimately save the Jews of the land from destruction. The reading of the megillah is typically a rowdy affair, punctuated by booing and noise-making when Haman’s name is read aloud. Our Purim Carnival is always loads of fun with costumes, games and family fun for all ages.
