 Celebrate Purim at Temple Israel!
Purim Shabbat
The festivities begin on Friday evening,
February 26, 7:30 PM
(*no 7pm service) for all members...young and young at heart alike with a fun and irreverent combined service and Purim Spiel:
"The Megillah According to the Beatles"
Come dressed as your favorite Purim character, Beatle or...whatever captures your imagination! We'll pray, we'll sing, we'll tell the story of Purim in true Paul, George, John and Ringo style. Join us following the service for a festive Oneg.
Adult Purim
The Megillah of Esther, Un-ravioli'd
Saturday evening, February 27, 7:00 PM
Adult Purim falls this year on the actual night of Purim. So, since Purim and Adult Purim coincide, we will have to go
inside the Megillah and see what's really there. No more spoofing. This will be serious. We'll be asking of ourselves and others profound questions, like . . .
*Where exactly in Italy is Shushan? *Was Mordecai Mafioso? *Sofia Loren? (We know Sofia Loren is not a question, but it gets your attention.)
So, please, wear Italian and bring your Italian accent, your Italian bourbon, scotch, rum, vodka or distillate of choice, and your loudest noise makers, and, especially, your Italian gestures and join us for an Italian meal suitable for . . . Purim.
RSVP to plittman@templeisrael.net. $20 for dinner. BYOB and a designated driver.
Family Purim Carnival
Activities for ALL ages: Purim costume parade, carnival games, water balloon toss, prizes, raffles, and for the very first time a Professional Balloon Art and Face Painting Designer. Delicious lunch!
