Coalition for Jewish Concerns and a group of schools will conduct a prayer vigil on Monday (today), March 13th -- the Fast of Esther, the day preceding Purim -- at 12:30 pm, at the Iranian UN Mission, 622 Third Avenue, at 40th Street, Manhattan.

The group says,"Just as the evil Haman in the Purim story sought to wipe out Jewish people, so too Persia's present-day leader, Iranian President Ahmadinejad, has publicly proclaimed that Israel should be"wiped off the map."
