Purim in Birmingham, Alabama





On Saturday night Temple Emanu-El and Temple Beth-El celebrated Purim. On Sunday afternoon the Chabad Learning Center celebrated.
Purim is from the Book of Esther. It happens once a year and is basically Mardi Grais with Halloween and New Year's all mixed together. It's a major party with a very serious message. The Jews were almost annihilated in Persia. Purim is the story of how this came to be and more importantly how it came to be stopped.
