As Purim approaches, a unique initiative in Crown Heights is ensuring that everyone can fulfill the mitzvah of hearing the Megillah—loud and clear. A specially arranged Megillah reading will take place at the Levi Yitzchok Library (305 Kingston Ave, Basement), designed specifically for those who are hard of hearing.
Understanding the challenges that some face during a typical Megillah reading, especially those who wear hearing aids, organizers have taken special measures to make this reading as accessible as possible. The setting will feature:
✔ A quiet, sound-absorbent room
✔ Clear, loud reading to ensure every word is heard
✔ All seating arranged to face the reader
✔ A supportive atmosphere with people who understand the need for clarity
The Megillah readings will take place on:
Thursday, Purim night at 7:30 PM
Friday, Purim day at 10:15 AM
The program is being organized in partnership with Lubavitch Youth Organization, with the goal of making the mitzvah of Mikra Megillah accessible to all.
