Megillah Esther Read for The First Time

After Shabbat, the synagogue "Beis Stern Shulman" gathered the Jews of Krivoy Rog who came to fulfil the main mitsva of Purim - to hear the reading of the Megillah. Solemn and sacramental, this important reading sounded for the first time in the synagogue.

Megillat Esther was read by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Strasberg. All participants listened attentively to the story of Purim and at the mention of the villain Haman stamped their feet, drowning his name.

After the reading of the Megillah, Purim continued in many homes where Jews gathered to have a festive meal. Everyone celebrated a miraculous salvation of the Jewish people and raised their "Lechaim".
