It's time again for the Moriah Purim Carnival!
Sunday, March 12, 2017
10:00am-12:30pm
DEERFIELD, IL (FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) - Moriah Congregation in Deerfield, Illinois will celebrate the Purim holiday with its always popular Purim Carnival and lunch on Sunday, March 12, 2017. The carnival runs from 10:00am until 12:30pm at the synagogue, 200 Taub Drive in Deerfield.
This year, an $8 admission fee buys unlimited game play for the entire carnival. Children are encouraged to arrive in costume.
Purim, or the Feast of Lots, is a joyous holiday which recounts the thwarting of a plot to destroy the Jewish People in ancient Persia. The Book of Esther, named for the heroine who saved her people, recounts the story. The holiday is traditionally celebrated with joy and humor and with the giving of gifts to friends and the poor.
Thanks to a generous annual donation, Moriah's Purim Carnival is known for having the highest quality prizes in the Chicago area. Last year's organizers were surprised at how many families came from all over the area because they heard about the original games and high quality prizes.
The event will also feature a fundraising sale of homemade Hamantaschen, baked and sold by Moriah's USY chapter. All proceeds go to "Tikun Olam," USY's Tzedakah Fund. A $5 lunch is also available.
There is ample parking and the general public is invited to attend. For more information, please visit www.moriahpurimcarnival.com or call the synagogue office at (847) 948-5340.
