Chabad Lubavitch of the Poconos invites everyone to experience one of the most joyous events in Jewish history. Purim marks the time when Queen Esther intervened to foil a plot to wipe out every Jewish man, woman and child living in Persia.
Ever since that miraculous time in 365 B.C., Jews have observed Purim, the 14th day of Adar on the Hebrew calendar, by reading the biblical Book of Esther, having a festive meal, giving gifts to the poor and food to friends.
“It’s a festive day, a happy day,” said Rabbi Mendel Bendet, who heads the local Chabad Lubavitch.
This Motzoai Shabbos “Shushan Purim” there will be an extension to Reb Moshe Rubashkins annual Purim feast.
There will be a host of performances by many different and talented singers (including Chaim Fogelman and Yossi Fraenkel), shows and acts.
This will take place in the Oholei Torah ball room on Motzoai Shabbos Shushan Purim.
