Purim in Smolensk, Russia
Purim 5769 in Smolensk, Russia was celebrated with great joy. The attractive invitations drew a crowd of 150 people to the community purim seuda which took place at the 7/40 restaurant. After hearing Rabbi Levi Mondshine, shliach and chief Rabbi of the Smolensk Region, read the megilla, all of the participants received a mishloach manos which they proceeded to switch with their neighbor, thus fulfilling the mitzvah of mishloach manos.
The elegant meal, abundant lechaim, music and dancing all contributed to the warm and festive atmosphere. The interactive clown program involved participants of all ages. After the official program ended, many people stayed on to farbreng with the shliach until the late hours of the night. The message and mitzvos of purim, and the purim party received widespread media coverage throughout the region.
