Purim celebration

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.

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates saving the Jewish people from Haman, a Persian empire official who was planning to kill all the Jews, as recounted in the biblical Book of Esther. ••
