Mother Lode Jewish Community Purim Celebration
| Mother Lode Jewish Community Purim Celebration |

The Mother Lode Jewish Community (MLJC) will be holding a “South of the Border” Purim Celebration on Saturday, March 15th, 6 pm -10 pm, in Murphys. This is a Jewish holiday commemorating the heroism of Queen Esther and her cousin, Modechai, who foiled a plot by one of the king’s most trusted advisors, Hamen (aka the Evil Bandito), to destroy all Jews living in the Persian Empire.
There will be games for kids and adults, a Mexican style potluck dinner and a theatrical performance telling the story of Purim. Everyone is encouraged to audition for the roles for a chance to perform in the play. The roles are non-gender discriminatory. If you don't have a costume, there will be some available.
If you would like to attend, please email the Mother Lode Jewish Community at motherlodejc@yahoo.com or call 209-533-1650.
The MLJC’s mission is to provide opportunities and events that nurture a vibrant and enduring Jewish identity, culture and community in the Mother Lode, drawing its members from Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa and Tuolumne counties. New members are most welcome. |
