Purim 2023: Join Us For Purim Fun!

March 2, 2023 by Gillian Jackson

March 6th, 5:30pm–7:30pm at the JCC of Ann Arbor and Online Via Zoom

Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me…It’s Purim!

Hosted by Peter Chagall (not Peter Sagal), the Megillah reading will be woven between bursts of Jewish-themed trivia and antics in the style of NPR’s famous news quiz. 

Don’t forget to get festive! Come in costume and bring your graggers- you can dress up as anything, or just come as you are!

The Purim Spiel will be followed by a Pizza and Hamantaschen Oneg. If you feel inspired, feel free to bring a veggie dinner dish or a beverage! 

There’ll be lots of all-ages fun: facepainting, festive games, a very contemporary Purimspiel, music from Twas Brillig and the Mazel Tovs (with AARC’s own Daniel Pesach!), triangular potluck, and….

Our annual HAMANTASCHEN CONTEST! There’s no need to register! Just bring 6-12 of your best sweet, savory, or original hamantashen on the plates, and our panel of judges will do the rest! And yes, there are prizes for the winners! 

Beit Sefer will also be sharing delicious and lovingly prepared mishloach manot to our seniors at the party– we can deliver these to your homes in Ann Arbor! Please let Marcy know you’d like one by emailing dr_marcy@hotmail.com.
