Spring is just a few days away and the snow is just about gone. We have been through the worst of it and there are brighter and warmer days ahead. Here at Temple Shirat Shalom the change of season is welcome, as we get ready for Purim and Passover.
Purim, celebrated with food, gifts and plays, is a popular Jewish holiday reminding us of how important it is for us to stick together. As we live in the Diaspora, we remain a scattered people. When threatened we only have each other to depend upon.
It’s a lesson to all of us. We are one people. We have managed to survive through the ages, holding onto the Torah as a spiritual guide. It is a time to celebrate.
Come join your fellow congregants tonight at Services held at The Swain School. Then celebrate the season on Sunday, 9:30 a.m. at the JCC for a Purim Party. Let’s stick together and enjoy the coming of spring!!!
