Schechter Celebrates Purim at RPM Raceway!

by Hannah Fineman, SSLI ‘25

Today, to celebrate the beloved holiday of Purim, Schechter's high school went to RPM Raceway in Farmingdale. We davened and heard students read the entirety of Megillat Esther. Then, the student body enjoyed this holiday of celebration and joy by go-karting and playing unlimited games at the arcade. This was definitely a memorable Purim. Chag Purim Sameach!
