In celebration of the Holiday of "Purim," Chabad of Bakersfield will be hosting a Purim Fest Celebration.
The holiday, the most joyous of the Jewish calendar, commemorates the victory of the Jews over the wicked Haman nearly 2,400 years ago. On this day, through the intervention of the heroine Queen Esther, the Jews were spared total annihilation.
The happiness of the day is expressed by sending gifts of food to friends, giving charity to the poor, and most of all by a grand, festive feast.
In addition, a special scroll, known as the "Megilla," is read. The Megilla recounts the entire story of Purim.
At the event, the Megilla will be read along with a multimedia presentation.
In addition, a gourmet buffet dinner will be served, loads of Purim spirit, and special entertainment for the children.
In the Purim spirit, all children and children at heart who dress up in
a costume will get a prize. Traditional "Haman Taschen"...
