Purim

About Purim

Purim is a holiday which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, who was planning to kill all the Jews in the empire.  On this holiday, we read the book of Esther, dress up in costume, and celebrate with a community-wide party.  At Temple Chai, we enjoy a fun adults-only Purimspiel and our Religious School students also put on their own version of the Purim story.
