Statement from Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown on Purim
The following is a statement from Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown on Purim:
“The festival of Purim commemorates the story of the Jewish community’s survival in the face of a plot by Haman to exterminate Jewish people in ancient Persia.
The joyful celebration of this holiday involves customs such as recounting the story of the Purim miracle at Synagogue, sharing gifts with friends, contributing to charities, and festive feasts.
My Ontario PC colleagues and I extend our best wishes to members of Ontario’s Jewish community as they celebrate Purim.
Chag Purim Sameach!”
