Purim ‘In the Middle East’ at Chabad Israeli Center
The “Purim in The Middle East” theme drew over 500 people to the outdoor event.
On March 17, families celebrated Purim with a great and well attended community event at the Chabad Israeli Center in Brookhaven.
The “Purim in The Middle East” theme drew over 500 people to the outdoor event. Middle Eastern dishes, including kubeh, jachnun, ashpelah, falafel, shawarma and more were served.
“It was so heartwarming to see so many of our community members come out to celebrate the joyous holiday of Purim after many months of being away due to COVID,” said Rabbi Menachem Gurary of the Chabad Israeli Center. “The holiday of Purim symbolizes Jewish unity and it was a wonderful display of it right here in Atlanta.”
The space was beautifully decorated in lavish Middle Eastern décor to tie the whole event together. Children dressed up in costumes to enjoy face painting, balloon making and photo booths. Following the dinner, DJ Sammy entertained both kids and adults on the dance floor.
