Purim

This year, it’s Purim on Zoom, and it’s bound to be a blast. Technical wizardry that is normally dedicated to making Shabbat and holiday services smooth and meaningful will be harnessed to make a spectacular and joyful Spiel for the whole community and beyond.

Immediately following the  Purim Spiel

Hear the Purim story in the original! Grab a gragger, and come boo Haman. Dress as your favorite character in the Bible or in Jewish history. At least wear a funny hat.

Keep your funny hat on - the merriment continues! Morning minyan includes Torah reading for Purim and the whole Megillah all over again.

Pray, sing, and watch some of the Purim spiel with your YFE friends. Costumes and groggers encouraged.

One of the great things about Purim is that it’s a time to be silly. We will be using food to create some silly Purim deliciousness. Come in costume for an extra level of celebration. 

Join this one-of-a-kind Zoom adventure starring the world-famous Bible Players! Esther overcomes the wicked Haman, as well as her own fears, to save Mordechai and ensure everyone in Shushan gets kavod (respect).

Gear up for a fun afternoon of hamantaschen filling and baking! Bring your own dough and your favorite fillings to make these Purim classics. Costumes are optional but encouraged.

Recap the Purim story, explore some little-known information, show off your costume, and have some great laughs. Come prepared with Purim questions.

What would the Purim story have been if not for Vashti and Esther? Hear from a panel of amazing women who are making change in their respective fields.
