Rain or shine: Adloyadah today at JCC

Preparing for any contingency, Leba Kornfeld, the director of family life and Rachel Ruth, the adult activities director at the Jewish Community Center, have announced that the annual Purim celebration known as Adloyadah will take place as expected this Sunday, March 1 on the grounds of the Uptown JCC from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The event, open to the entire community, has proven to be one of the most widely attended events at the center.

Workers are prepared to bring the popular inflatable rides inside the gymnasium should inclement weather make an outside celebration impractical. Wristbands will allow riders to access all rides throughout the afternoon instead of paying for each individual ride, which will still be an option.

Both Kosher Cajun New York Delicatessen and Grocery and Casablanca Restaurant will have booths to dispense food for the celebration meant to celebrate the observance of Purim, which begins at sundown on Wednesday, March 4.

Games will be played either outside or inside the Mintz Auditorium, should weather not cooperate. These games will allow children to win with prizes provided by the JCC

In addition specially baked hamantashen (Purim baked treats) of various varieties including poppy seed and various fruit fillings will be on hand as well as popular New Orleans snowballs.

Children will be encouraged to wear costumes. A costume parade will be held during the day with prizes to be awarded.
