Which is the superior Jewish treat: crispy, golden latkes or sweet, delicate hamantaschen? Join us for a lively and entertaining showdown as Temple Beth El’s Brotherhood and Temple Israel Men’s Club go head-to-head to defend their favorite.
In this spirited Latkes vs. Hamantaschen debate, TBE takes on the not sweet and oil-fried latke while TI will defend the sweet and delicious hamantaschen. This fun event is open to all Brotherhood and congregation members.

Inspired by the bright style of KPop Demon Hunters, our crafts will set the scene for the Purim adventure ahead! Crafts and activities will include Rumi-inspired temporary tattoos, concert-ready graggers, and a supply of glitter that would make even Haman nervous. All ages are welcome.

This year, the megillah meets the movie screen! Inspired by the music and energy of KPop Demon Hunters, this year’s Purim spiel gives Esther’s story a pop twist. Even if you have never seen the movie, you will understand the excitement the moment the story begins.
There are no demons this year. Just one Haman, and we already know how his “Takedown” ends.
JPop Haman Hunters: The Golden Purim Spiel is coming soon to a sanctuary near you. Costumes encouraged. Dramatic grogger spinning required.
