Purim
Purim is celebrated by the reading of the Scroll of Esther, known in Hebrew as the Megillat Esther, which relates the
story of Purim. Under the rule of King Ahashuerus, Haman, the King’s prime minister, plots to exterminate all of the Jews of Persia. His plan is foiled by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai, who ultimately save the Jews of the land from destruction. The reading of the megillah is typically a rowdy affair, punctuated by booing and noise-making (groggers are used by children of all ages to make loud noise) when Haman’s name is read aloud.
Lights, camera & action! Our annual Purim Shpiel is always a barrel of laughs and a big hit at Temple Israel. Our magnificient team of writers come up with hilarious scripts year after year!
The Purim Carnival features games, live dj entertainment, music, food and dance. Our religious school students cash in their “rabbi bucks” to play games of chance and win prizes. There is an extra bonus of fun when you come in costume.
Shaloch Manot gift bags overfilled with goodies are distributed to our congregants
