Purim Fun at Kobernick/Anchin!
On Sunday, Feb 28th, residents,
family and friends enjoyed a
Purim picnic, Klezmer music
and the Megillah of Esther told
in story and song with Rabbi
Barbara's puppets.  HISS!!  
BOO!  Greggers in hand, the
audience listened to the
Megillah scribe (aka Head Nurse
Judith Yeager) begin the tale.
Puppet characters "David" and "Mordechai" took center stage thanks to
the skill and talent of Anthony Suarez (son of JCH's marketing staff,
Beth and head chef Ignacio!).  Rabbi Barbara brought the crowd to life
with puppet teen, "Rachel" and delightful grandma, "Bubbe Esther."
