Queen for a day: Purim, the story of Queen Esther

Everyone is welcome to join the Lake Chapala Jewish Congregation for a hilarious enactment of the Purim story and a delicious vegetarian dinner on Wednesday, March 20, 4 p.m.

The Purim story is full of drama. It brings together a mighty king, a jealous scoundrel, and a wise uncle. However, at its center is a clever heroine who was so beautiful she was known as the Morning Star. This dramatic story shows how it was only because of Queen Esther’s cunning and courage that evil was brought to justice and many threatened lives were saved. Told for many thousands of years, her story is still thrilling and inspiring.
