The Whole Megillah & Shacharit

On this morning we will get to hear the whole Megillah (Book Of Esther) read or leyned (chanted) with our sofer (scribe) written Megillot in prominent use, including two beautiful new Megillot that have been donated to EHRS.
The way this will work is that we will all join the Sunday Shacharit Group at 09:30 for their half hour morning service, then enjoy a bagel breakfast and then into our full Megillah reading from 10:20 to around 11:15.
After this, if you would like to, you are welcome to join our Purim and the Chocolate Factory family party in the Community Centre.
