On Saturday, March 24, Lodge members reunited at the B’nai Brith Seniors’ Residence at 4300 Bathurst Street to host the Purim Megillah reading led by Rabbi Jay Kelman and his family.

Rabbi Uri Gelman, the spiritual leader of the 4300 Bathurst Street Synagogue since 1997, concluded the program with a few inspirational words. After the traditional reading, Lodge members served delicious treats, including hamentashen, clementines, chips and drinks.

This year’s program included FHL co-president Debbi Silver, Debbie & Carl Zeliger, Albert Ohana and his Uncle Paul.

The evening was coordinated by Carl Zeliger, who deserves special thanks for his efforts. Lodge members are also grateful to Rabbi Jay Kelman and his family for supporting this endeavour year after year.
