Community and Carnival at Borehamwood’s Purim Extravaganza
Event
It was all systems go at Borehamwood & Elstree United as Purim games, food and activities took place across the shul site (and beyond) for all sections of the community. The congregation packed in to hear the Megillah before enjoying a full breakfast spread and a festive carnival where all costumes great and small were on display. There was a relaxed, sociable atmosphere as people enjoyed Purim with their friends and families and connected with new people.
