One-year-old Eli Clayman-Smith, held by his father, Matt Smith, is in the spirit of a “super” Purim on Wednesday night at Temple El Emeth in Liberty. The holiday, complete with costumes and funny hats, was celebrated with a reading from the Book of Esther on how the Jews in Persia defeated the evil Haman. Participants sounded “groggers” to boo the name of Haman when it was mentioned.
