Creve Coeur Costumes On Display

Purim celebrations are happening at Creve Coeur area Jewish congregations. Share your photos with us!

The Jewish holiday of Purim is upon us. It is a time to mark salvation from an ancient Persian plot to kill all Jews in a single day.

Today, Purim is celebrated through prayer, giving charity to others, and by dressing in costume. Many of the congregations in and around Creve Coeur are hosting a carnival and other activities over the next few weeks. and got things started over the weekend.

If your congregation wants to get the word out about your event, post it on our calendar. And when you're done celebrating, post your photos here in our Purim Gallery. Many thanks to Yana Hotter for getting us started.
