Join Chabad of West Orange on Thursday, March 1, at 5 p.m. for their annual Purim Feast.

Enjoy a delicious kosher dinner, the reading of the Megillah and a comedy show by Vince Magic. In the spirit of Purim, all are encouraged to “dress up” for a masquerade competition and a winner will be chosen for the most innovative and original costume.

Billed as the most joyous date on the Jewish calendar, the holiday commemorates the nullification in 356 B.C.E. of a Persian decree calling for the extermination of the Jewish people throughout the Persian Empire as told in the biblical Book of Esther.

All are welcome regardless of affiliation or background.

Reservations are required: $20 adult, $10 child in advance ($25 adult, $15 child at the door), under 3 free! Visit www.chabadwestorange.com/rsvp or call 973-325-6311.

Chabad of West Orange is located at 401 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, NJ 07052. www.orthodoxjewishforum.org for more information.
