Jewish community members of all ages are invited to participate in the annual community-wide Purim day celebration.

The Purim celebration will include an interactive reading of the Purim Megillah with music and discussion led by Rabbis David Glickman, Caitlin Brazner, Larry Karol and Jonathan Rudnick. The program will conclude with a catered lunch, and shalach manot gift bags will be given to those in attendance at Village Shalom.
