Purim celebrates the biblical story of Esther, set in Persia more than 2400 years ago and still very contemporary!
We celebrate in four ways: by hearing the story, bringing gifts of food to each other, helping people in need, and feasting together dressed in costume! Below are opportunities to participate in all four Mitzvot!
