SUMMARY:Absolut Purim
DESCRIPTION:Dear Friend\, \nWho doesn’t love Purim? Costumes\, feasts\, edible gifts and levity. What’s there not to love? \nThe extreme joy of Purim came after some extremely challenging times. As recounted in the Scroll of Esther (which we read on Purim eve and then the following day)\, the Jews of Persia were under dire threat of extermination\, saved by a divinely orchestrated combination of serendipity\, bravery\, and faith. \nJoin us as we pray that—like our ancestors in Persia—the world experiences a turnaround so drastic\, so breathtakingly absolute\, only G-d could have arranged it! \n\n\nAbsolut Purim – Thursday\, March 13 @ 7pm. No RSVPs necessary.\nPurim Shabbat Feast – Friday\, March 14 @ 5pm – $40 per adult\, $15 per child\, max $110 per family\nEvent sponsor – $180\, $360\, $540 \nRegister for our Purim Feast \nWith wishes for a happy (and healthy!) Purim\, \n– Rabbi Dan Rodkin
