Celebrating Purim in Huntington

Purim, the holiday that celebrates Esther’s protection of the Jewish people from Haman, begins at sundown Wednesday.

That means, weather permitting, children and adults alike will be dressing in costume, enjoying a Megillah reading to hear the story of Purim and shaking their groggers (noisemakers) at the mere mention of Hamen. And there will be plenty of noshing on hamentashen (triangular-shaped cookies with fruit or other fillings) .

Some of the synagogues celebrating Purim in Huntington include:

• Huntington Jewish Center at 510 Park Avenue at 7 p.m.
• Temple Beth El of Huntington at 660 Park Avenue at 7 p.m for an adult celebration

Will you be celebrating Purim? Tell us where in the comments.
