“K’sheh-nich-nas A-dar mar-bim b’sim-chah!”
When the month of Adar enters, joy increases!
- Talmud
On Tuesday evening March 7th , the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Adar, our good friend Purim will come out of hiding once again - hopefully bringing warmer weather and the opportunity to laugh, make some noise, and share the lighter/sillier side of life (with a really good story and a thankfully happy ending). This Purim, by popular demand, our adult and teen Purim Spiel will be THE MAMMA MIA GANTZE MEGILLAH based on the music of ABBA (our fore father Abraham? Was he a Broadway composer too and we didn’t even know it? What a guy!!)
If you are a person who likes to sing, act, and maybe even dance a little around the Bimah, and is interested in joining the cast of what promises to be a huge hit show that we may be pressed to take on the road (as long as we can get time off for Shabbat and holidays, and yummy NY deli sandwiches are provided), please contact my wonderful Clergy Assistant Jeremy at (914) 235-1800, ext. 211. I can assure you…”There’ll be magic to do, just for you, there’ll be miracle plays to play, there’ll be parts to perform, hearts to warm, kings and things to take by storm, as we go along our way…” (oh wait a second…that’s a song from a different show! That’s Stephen Schwartz’s Pippin-maybe we’ll tackle that one next year if the reviews for this first one together are decent!)
A big plus and help with our Spiel is familiarity with the music of Mamma Mia, although it’s not a must. We will have 4 rehearsals on:
- Monday evenings: February 13th, 20th, 27th, and March 6th: 6:30-8:30 pm
- Dress Rehearsal: Tuesday, March 7th: 5 pm
A commitment to attend all rehearsals will be greatly appreciated and will help us all be ready to take the Kingdom of TINR by storm on Tuesday, March 7th, at our 2023 Purim Spiel.
I look forward to seeing all you singing thespians at Temple on Monday, February 13th at 6:30 pm and, for now...stay healthy, stay warm, don’t sweat the small stuff, and be happy, it’s (almost) Adar!
In Song,
Cantor Rita Glassman
