| Celebrate Purim All Weekend!
Friday, March 6, 7:00 pm, Purim Service and Megillah Reading.
Put on your favorite costume,
invite your friends, and come to an abbreviated Shabbat service and the congregational Megillah reading.
Volunteers still needed to read part of the scroll of Esther for the community. To tell your section of the story you can use the language of anything from
Gone with the Wind to Shakespeare. Don't be afraid to create or use a very creative "translation" of your verses! (
Click here for some ideas.) Email
Rabbi Bearman if you'd like to participate!
Saturday Torah Study (9:30 am-11:00 am). The Torah Study class will explore the Scroll of Esther. We'll look at the literary context for the Purim story and investigate its less familiar elements!
Sunday Morning (9:30 am-11:30 am). We'll discover that Purim at TBC has FROZEN over! Come for a Frozen-themed Purim Shpiel and carnival, a fun costume parade, arts and crafts, pizza, and more! Parents should accompany children in grades K-3.

Happy Hamantaschen!
In celebration of Purim, last week the Board of Trustees packaged and sent 30 boxes with delicious hamantaschen and hand written notes to our college students near and far (some as far as Scotland). Since then, we've been receiving emails, texts, and tweets from them with sentiments of appreciation. Thanks to the board and a special thanks to Kim Yonkers for making this possible.
