A Meaningul Purim

Tonight we read from the Book of Esther, iin which the Jewish people who lived in the sprawling Persian Empire are saved from Haman’s evil scheme to annihilate them. Every year on the holiday of Purim, we mark the anniversary of the Jews’ victory over their enemies.

As always, the intrepid Jenny Labendz will read!

This Month in Jewish History
