Chabad @ the Beaches Purim Party
Saturday, March 19th 8:30 P.M.

Chabad at the Beaches’ annual Purim celebration will be enjoyed by many men, woman and children from throughout the Beaches area. The event will be held on March 19th at Chabad at the Beaches’ Center for Jewish Life. The African-themed party will offer a unique way for Jews of diverse affiliations and backgrounds to unite and celebrate Purim together. Attendees are encouraged to dress in African garb.

The evening will begin with the traditional reading of the Megilla [scroll of Esther], which relates the story of Purim. Simultaneously participants will view a multi-media slide show illustrating the historical events of Purim. To drown out the name of the wicked adversary Haman, children will enthusiastically jump on gigantic bubble wrap, shake graggers (noisemakers) and drum on African drums.

A highlight of the party will be the African drum circle led by Steve Alvarado. The interactive circle will be enjoyed by adults and children alike. Drumming is an ancient musical tradition that many cultures around the world use to energize, build unity, focus attention, relax and heighten creativity. No musical experience is necessary to join us! With a few rhythm starters, our group will experience the fun, excitement and humor that collaboration brings. Please bring percussion instruments.

The event will be held Saturday evening, March19th starting with a Havdalla Service at 8:15 PM The Megilla will be read at 8:30 PM followed by African themed Purim goodies and traditional Purim food.
