Greetings!
It's Adar, the month in which we enjoy celebratory costumes, noisy Megillah readings, and triangular treats!
The Jewish holiday of Purim begins the evening of Saturday, March 15. Enrich the holiday by honoring the courageous acts of people like Esther and Mordechai with the sharing of gifts (mischloach manot) and helping those in need (matanot l'evyonim).
Then, after Purim, begin setting the mood for the next Jewish holiday. Read the Passover-themed books being sent out this month.
