We are excited to have both Rabbi Brigitte Rosenberg and Jewish Educator Cyndee Levy facilitate a gustatory evening to get your mind and stomach ready for Purim. A Persian flair will be woven into the foods, and we will explore some "hidden" stories of the Purim tale. For example, did you know that Esther was a vegetarian in the palace?
