Greetings!
Be happy! It's Adar, the Jewish month that hosts the fun-filled, festive holiday of Purim (Thursday, March 8, 2012).
Purim will be celebrated throughout the Cincinnati area with with costumes, noisy megillah readings, and Purim events (see listings below). You can also take the holiday to its highest level by joining in the tradition of sharing gifts with others (mishloach manot) and helping those in need.
Then, start setting the mood for the next Jewish holiday by reading the Passover-themed books being sent out this month.
Here's to joy!
