Rand Aid’s Elphin Lodge retirement village residents recently celebrated Purim, one of the most joyous festivals of the Jewish year.
The festival commemorates the miraculous turn of events in which the Jewish people were saved from a threat of annihilation in ancient Persia, as told in the Biblical book of Esther.
“The mitzvot (good deeds) of the day enhanced our celebrations,” says Elphin Lodge resident Val Margolis.
The dress code was black and white, and many residents came up with original ideas.
“The food, as always, was delicious and the vibes were positive. It was an outstanding evening filled with joy, happiness and many smiles,” says Val.
