Purim is often remembered as a holiday of costumes, noise, and celebration. But beneath the masks lies one of Judaism’s most radical teachings: the courage to see clearly — and to act when the moment demands it.

Join Jewish Vegan Life for a special Purim gathering at Veganarie in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, where we’ll enjoy delicious food and explore the deeper meaning of Purim through the lens of compassion, moral clarity, and conscious choice. Together, we’ll reflect on Esther’s transformation — from hiddenness to courageous action — and what it asks of us today in how we live, eat, and care for the world.

This evening will blend learning, conversation, community, and plant-based food, exploring how Purim inspires us to live with courage, aligned with our values. 

What We’ll Explore

• Esther’s moment of moral clarity — and the cost of staying silent
• What it means to “remove the mask” in our own lives and choices
• How Jewish values call us toward compassion for people, animals, and the planet
• Why plant-based living is emerging as a powerful Jewish response to today’s ethical challenges

Whether you are vegan, veg-curious, or simply seeking a more meaningful way to celebrate Purim, this gathering is for you.
