Purim is a holiday that turns things upside down! Celebrate Purim with a Shabbat service unlike any other. It is a commandment on Purim to celebrate with food and drink, so before entering the sanctuary, you will be invited to grab a Purim drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic will be available). Our service will include Purim songs sung by Shir Kids, excerpts chanted from the Megillah, and a few surprise twists from the clergy. We will follow services with a festive Oneg featuring hamantaschen. Costumes are encouraged!
