LAUGHTER HEALS: PURIM ACROSS MONTANA
The Montana Association of Rabbis (MAOR) and The Montana Jewish Project (MJP) invite you to Purim Across Montana — an hour of jokes, songs, and funny stories to delight us and soothe our souls.
With the challenges of ongoing war and antisemitism at home, we need a break! Let’s get silly, laugh together, raise our spirits communally, and experience some Jewish joy.
Bring your favorite beverage for Kiddush! Consider a mask, a funny hat, or full costume!
Sunday, March 24th, 6-7pm MDT
