Celebrate Purim at Temple B’nai Abraham!

Purim, which begins Wednesday evening March 4, is a festival that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people living throughout the ancient Persian Empire from a plot by Haman to annihilate them, as recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther (Megillah Esther).
