Chief Rabbi of Berdichev Moshe Taller and his wife Chana put together a colorful Purim program this year in Berdichev. Celebrations got underway on Friday evening, when pupils of the Ohr Avner Chabad Day School attended a Purim party, small Purimspiel and puppet show.
On the eve of Purim, Rabbi Taller read ‘Megilat Esther’ in the city’s synagogue. Following this, more than 300 people came out for Purim celebrations organized by the Berdichev Jewish community, together with ‘Chesed’ and other local Jewish organizations.
Local yeshiva students, led by Yeshiva Director Rabbi Akiva Nimoi, joined Jewish schoolchildren in handing out more than 100 ‘mishloach manot’ to the community’s needy and elderly. The kosher gift packages included smoked meat, fish, fruits and sweets.
Upon having fulfilled the main commandment of Purim – charity – yeshiva students and community members enjoyed a Purim feast.
