Purim Party
Together with Burquest Jewish Community Association and Aleph in the Tri-Cities, we hosted nearly 200 community members for a fun-filled, family-friendly Purim party at Burquest in Coquitlam. We had a great time dressing up in costumes, eating hamantaschen, and, of course, booing Haman!
