Dress up in costume, create your own Purim mask, sing karaoke, have your face painted, and visit Purim carnival booths. Get your groove on and dance with your children to music and a cast of zany Purim friends. Purim, or the Feast of Lots, is a joyous holiday that recounts the saving of the Jews from a threatened massacre during the Persian period (539- 330 BCE). The story of Purim is recounted in the Book of Esther, whose heroine plays the leading role in saving her people. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with a masquerade party and with giving of gifts to friends and the poor. 1:00 – 4:00 PM M $7, NM $10
