This Saturday we celebrate Purim and read the whole Book of Esther.
Remember to “Boo” Haman, “Yay” Mordecai, and toast Esther until you can’t tell the difference! Oh yeah, and eat some Hamantaschen.
On Purim we also study history of Esau and the Amalekites, because Haman, the enemy of Mordecai and Esther, was a descendant of the Amalekites through Agag.
You can read our Purim Memo here.
