Join other families with young children to celebrate this silly and joyful Jewish holiday. We'll hear the Purim story of how brave Queen Esther saved the Jewish people, and celebrate our freedom by singing, eating Hamantaschen (holiday cookies) and dressing up in costumes.

Open to all children age 0-5 years and their grown-ups. No Jewish knowledge or experience necessary!

Our gathering will be led by wonderful early childhood specialist Mimi Greisman and Rabbi Bridget Wynne.

When: Saturday, March 19, 10:30 AM - noon

Where: Jewish Gateways' cozy home, near El Cerrito Plaza and BART station just north of Berkeley

Who: Families with children 0-5. Feel free to invite friends who might be interested!

How: RSVP above, or contact Rabbi Bridget at 510-559-8140 or rabbibridget@jewishgateways.org for info and to RSVP.
