Puff, puff, Purim?
Sorry, Deadheads — there will be no smoking at today’s Grateful Purim party at Brooklyn Bowl, but it will feature a storytelling session with Park Slope rabbi Dan Ain (pictured) set to the music of the Grateful Dead. The long, strange reading will be followed by a family costume contest and a performance by the Terrapin Family Band.
