BRJC celebrates Purim with party
Put your party hats on for Purim!
The Bay Ridge Jewish Center hosted its annual Purim Party on Wednesday, March 4 and celebrated with costumes, arts and crafts, sing-alongs, and the telling of the full story behind the holiday—a day that commemorates the survival of the Jewish people in Persia.
“During the Purim holiday, which is a very festive celebration, we celebrate the time that the Jewish people survived because of what the young Queen Esther did,” explained Ruth Masyr, president of BRJC. “It’s a time that we read the story that is called the Megillah – which means a long story – [and] Rabbi Rosenberg put together a wonderful multimedia presentation.”
