Purim Spiel and Mask Decorating

When: Thursday, February 25 at 7:00 PM

Let’s celebrate Purim together online with mask-making, a “Choose Your Own Adventure” spiel, and music with our song leader, Nick May.

The “Choose Your Own Adventure” spiel is an interactive event that brings the audience into the action. In almost every scene, the audience gets to choose which of several endings the cast will perform. While the plot of the story can’t change, there is an opportunity to explore the motivations and meaning behind the characters’ choices.

*Masks to decorate will be provided in your family’s mishloach manot package. Click here by February 16 to let us know if you will pick up your mishloach manot on Sunday, February 21 between 1:00 and 3:00PM.

Connection information will be sent via Congregational email.
