THE
WHOLE
MEGILLAH
– in Less than 2 Hours!
Come to
Israel Congregation on Thursday, March 20
to celebrate Purim – a festive time for the young and the
young-at-heart. Start with a light dinner. If you’re not
already in costume, get dressed here… make a 3-cornered hat
or a mask… or paint your face to become your favorite (or
hated) character. Hear the story of Esther and Mordechai –
a short retelling in both English and Hebrew. Sing songs.
Parade around the sanctuary. “Boo” Haman. Cap off the
evening with the sweet taste of homemade hamantashen.
