Celebrate Purim with an afternoon of free fun at the JCC in Manhattan! While grownups enjoy activities like meditation sessions, film screenings and an cappella concerts, kids can join in on holiday–themed art projects, face painting, a Purim concert from Shira & Friends, an interactive Shpiel with Clown Professor Doink and other activities. All ages.
This year, the Jewish holiday of Purim rolls around on the evening of Saturday, March 15, and ends on the evening of Sunday, March 16. Celebrate the joyous occasion with a slew of family-friendly events at synagogues, Jewish centers and other establishments throughout NYC this weekend. Encourage the little ones to don their favorite costumes, then gather round for a reading of the Megillah to learn about the ancient origins of Purim, or even catch a puppet show or spiel starring the holiday's celebrated heroes—Esther and Mordecai. Kids will have plenty of opportunities to learn about the holiday traditions, play fun carnival games, chow down on hamantaschen and more!
