Community to Mark Festival of Purim
Synagogues to Hear Appeals
for JNF `Shalach 1Vionos'
The festival of Purim will
begin Saturday night with the
reading of the Megillah—the..
story of Esther—in our syna-
gogues, continuing on Sunday
with school programs, mas-
querades, carnivals and general
merry-making over the libera-
tion of the Jews from Haman's
yoke many centuries ago. -
The traditional synagogue ap-
peals for the Jewish National
Fund will be made by rabbis,
presidents of congregations and
lay leaders during the services
on Saturday evening and Sun-
day morning.
The community is asked to
make generous gifts to the land
redemption fund in order to
provide security for the border
settlements—by .extending the
populated areas in Israel. "This
should be the community's
major Shalach Monos," the JNF
appeal states.

ices and programs planned by
our snyagogues, their affiliate
groups, religious schools and
