Costumes, feasting, the megillah, gifts flying across town — one day a year the whole community celebrates like royalty, and everyone's invited.
Purim commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman's plot "to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day." It is celebrated with megillah readings, gifts of food, charity, feasting, and merriment.

Every year a different world — a grand themed feast (Purim in Persia, anyone?) with dinner, live entertainment, megillah reading, l'chaims, and costumes encouraged. Fun for all ages; Hebrew School kids attend free.
The Scroll of Esther read in the original Hebrew from parchment — on Purim eve with l'chaims and music, again in the morning, and once more before the party so nobody misses it.
Mishloach manot, community-style: join the project and your name rides along with beautiful Purim packages delivered across the community — plus baskets for IDF soldiers in Israel on our community's behalf.
Gifts to the poor — one of Purim's four mitzvot. Your donation goes directly to families in need in Israel and in our own community, so everyone can celebrate.
Sponsor the party, join the gift exchange, or give matanot la'evyonim.
