Please join us in celebrating this great Holiday with the reading of the Megillah, a cabaret of music woven from 40 years of Purim songs, costumes, dancing, hamantashen, drinking and more.
As Esther teaches, redemption often wears a mask—and holiness loves a good disguise. Come celebrate the mystery, the music, and the joy with us!
