Purim at Beth El is a joyful celebration. Our Purim activities include our annual “Megillah Madness” celebration — which will take place via Zoom this year.
This page contains links to quickly access all of our Purim services, including Megillah Madness and our traditional Megillah reading, as well as other Purim resources such as a Purim singalong, dance party video, instructions to make “kindness kits” to help fulfill the mitzvah of matanot l’evyonim, and a Google slide with stories, songs, and other fun for young children.
Thursday, February 25
