Wishing a very Happy Purim to all those celebrating in Red Deer-North and across Alberta.
Today until nightfall, Jewish people will celebrate Purim. The holiday commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation by Haman, an official in the ancient Persian Empire.
Celebrations include dressing up in costume, eating a festive meal, and listening to the Book of Esther in a synagogue.
It’s a time to celebrate the strength and resilience of the Jewish people.
May Purim bring you hope, joy, and comfort!
