Purim

CELEBRATE WITH US

Purim at PSJC is a time of great joy and festivity!  We read the Megillah of Esther, which tells the story of how the Jews were saved from destruction in Persia by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai.  And we celebrate!

We make it easy for you to fulfill the mitzvah of sending gifts to PSJC friends on Purim with Mishloach Manot! Every PSJC Household is eligible to receive a bag on Megillah Night (Sunday, March 24th). Add a personal greeting to their card! By participating in our campaign, not only are you letting a friend know you are thinking of them, but you are also supporting programming at PSJC!
