Purini, the holiday which be-
gins with the solemnity of the
Fast of Esther and just as sud-
denly turns - into a festival of
merry-making, will be celebrat- .
ed in our community Saturday
night and Sunday.
- The Fast of Esther, so the
story goes, was the protest
raised by .Queen Esther, Jewish
Wife of King Ahasuerus against
the plotted destruction of the
Jews by Haman, vizier of the
king.
. -The fast, which is part of
Esther's intercession, along with
her cousin, Mordecai, with the
king, thus prevents Haman
from carrying but his plan, and
the holiday ends in great joy
and celebration with the saving
of the Jews.
The holiday's theme will be
carried out with the reading of
the Megillah (the Scroll - of
Esther) in our synagogues Sat-
urday evening, with plays and
masquerades in our religious
schools and special programs by
many communal groups.
Listed below, along with the
regular listings of the sabbath
services, are the Purim pro-
grams 'planned by our syna-
gogues, their affiliate groups
