Some very happy Purim snaps from our volunteers Shua and Mendle who are on the road on the mid north coast of New South Wales.

Happy Purim!!

Purim begins on Thursday evening!

This is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the salvation of the Jewish people from the wicked Haman. The Purim story is one of transformation - the Jewish people went from a very dark time, to an open miracle. Today, we celebrate by reading the Megilah, giving gifts to the poor, having a big meal, and sharing Purim treats.

We're getting together in Victoria,  New South Wales, and Queensland over this special holiday to celebrate.

Here's where we will be:

Thursday evening in Coffs Harbour.

Also on Thursday - a gathering in Toowoomba.

On Friday our volunteers will be heading to Old Bar in NSW, and Geelong and the Dandenongs on VIC.

We'd love to have you join!

If you are elsewhere in Australia, we can help you locate the nearest Purim.

Happy Purim!

Pictured here is a yummy batch of caramel and jam Hamentashen - thats the three sided cookie, said to resemble the hat of the wicked Haman.

We are celebrating Purim in the Dandenongs this Friday!

Please join us if you are in the area.
