KleinLife recently invited the community to join with its members in observing and celebrating the Jewish holiday of Purim.

The complimentary program featured a festive lunch with hamantaschen, a tri-corned fruit-filled pastry symbolic of the holiday; festive ethnic music; vocals by Ken Ulansey and Phyllis Chapel; costumes; beads; and gragger giveaways.
