Megillah on the Mountain
It\’s beginning to look a lot like Purim. The hamantaschen-filled holiday comes one month early this year, as Temple Beth Ami in Santa Clarita and Six Flags Magic Mountain co-host PurimFest: The World\’s Largest Purim Carnival this Sunday.
The early date was chosen \”to allow everybody to come, so people won\’t miss the Purim parties at their own synagogues,\” said Rabbi Mark Blazer of Beth Ami, a congregation of 200 families.
