Smolensk Jews Celebrate Purim in Brand New Shul

Approximately 150 Jews of all ages gathered in the newly built Jewish Community Center in Smolensk, Russia to celebrate the most lively purim that the community remembers. Smolensk is about 45 miles from the town of Lubavitch, near the border with Belarus.

Rabbi Levi Mondshine read the Megilla and helped everyone fulfill all the 4 mitzvos of purim.

Singer Albert Sigalov came especially from Moscow with his band to liven the atmosphere and had the crowd dancing.

Community members lingered long after the official program was over to farbreng with the shliach.
