Chabad Of The Hamptons Purim Celebration

On Tuesday, March 10, Rabbi Leibel Baumgarten and Goldie Baumgarten of the Chabad of the Hamptons invited members of the local community to join them in celebrating the Jewish holiday Purim at their home in East Hampton. The party began with the traditional reading of the Book of Esther, with gragger noisemakers cranking at any mention of the name Haman. A buffet dinner with an Italian theme was followed by something less traditional, an online Purim fact competition, that teams used their smartphones to play.
