St. Louis Jewish Orthodox Community – Purim Megillah Readings 2016

With Purim approaching, I am reminded to pay attention to my blog. I am so sorry to my readers that I have neglected it for so long. This year I am working three jobs – teaching full-time, running a Hebrew school program and freelance writing. That has left very little time to do my blog and other more pleasurable activities!

But Purim means that I must do our annual Megillah readings post for the St. Louis Orthodox community.

Here are the Megillah readings and other community events happening in the St. Louis Orthodox community. I will add any updates and additions throughout the week.
