Purim's coming! March 10th

We have lots of great books in the library, for all ages, about the festival of Purim, its star, Queen Esther, its villain, Haman, and how Jews celebrate Purim all over the world.

Purim's a lot of fun at the temple! Come to our festive service, Erev Purim (Purim Eve), Monday March 9th at 6:30!
