Chag Purim, Chag Purim, Chag Gadol Hu La’Yehudim, Masechot Ra’ashanim, Shirim v’Rikudim.  (Purim, Purim, a great festival for the people, noisemakers, songs, and dances.) 

We will be celebrating Purim this year on Thursday evening, March 13th. 

Purim is a joyous holiday that celebrates the saving of the Jews from a threatened massacre in ancient Persia.  We will all gather at 6:00 pm for some nosh (pizza, healthy and not-so-healthy snacks!), drink, and crafts projects. Then we will have the reading of the Megillah and the Purim shpiel--with live instrumental music and singing.  Come prepared to have fun, join in the crafts and enjoy some delicious hamantaschen.

All are welcome, members and non-members alike.

Everyone, please scroll down and RSVP/register if you plan to join us. Please note if you are likely to join in person or via Zoom.

(If joining by Zoom, we now recommend you join by 6:40 pm!)
