👸🏼DEFY GRAVITY WITH US!🧹

Join us for a Wicked-themed Purim Shpiel and Carnival to see if good will triumph over evil! Whether you’re in full costume or rocking your witch hat or Esther crown, come ready for a magical time! 🧙‍♀️👑

Enjoy carnival games with prizes, bouncy houses, obstacle course, a kids’ costume parade and a petting zoo. We’ll have special potion drinks, Purim crafts, face painting, costume exchange and more!

If you have used kids' costumes, you are welcome to bring them to the costume exchange on the day of the carnival. Thanks!

Get ready to munch on delicious homemade hamantaschen and pizza as we celebrate in Shushan... or is it the Emerald City?! 🌟🎉🍕💚

Festivities begin at 10:30 AM with singing, megillah reading, costume parade, and shpiel (our special Purim play performed by Beth Am's clergy and staff). The Tot Corner will also open at 10:30 AM, and the Carnival fun kicks off around 11:15 AM. Don’t miss it!

TZEDAKAH OPPORTUNITIES:

Bake Sale Benefiting Ukraine: The Poltava/Odessa Committee will be holding a bake sale at the Purim Carnival to benefit our sister congregations in Poltava and Odessa, whose members and neighbors struggle in great uncertainty with major life challenges in war-torn Ukraine. Please plan to bring cash to purchase some home-baked goodies for a good cause!

*Purim Tzedakah Project: One of the mitzvot of Purim is giving matanot la’evyonim (gifts to the poor). We encourage carnival attendees to bring cleaning and hygiene products to support the Jewish Family and Children's Services (JFCS) "Spring Cleaning" drive. LEARN MORE
