PURIM 5785

We'll be Defying Gravity with a kids carnival, Megillah reading, auction, festive drinks and hamantaschen — all benefitting the CBS Preschool scholarship fund.

To allow those to observe the Fast of Esther, a Purim Seudah — “festive Purim meal” — will be served at the time of the Megillah reading, ~7:45pm. Since children (B’nai Mitzvah age, 12 and under) are not obligated to fast, kid-friendly food will be available throughout the evening.
