These unusual Covid times of uncertainty called for unusual programming for our annual Purim Seudah and celebration.
With Purim play rehearsals and preparation on hold, Betty Olswang and her team of capable and creative volunteers produced a wonderful meal of tasty homemade soup, yummy sides and plenty of wine, and a tuneful and participatory program capably led by Sharon Wilensky that had the whole room on its feet clapping and singing along.
Many thanks go out to Betty and her Purim team: Barbara Cardash, Elizabeth Dorfman, Melissa Dubinsky, Shashi Ishai, Ruth Marriott, Laurette Pearlman, Rita Platzky, Flora Vuijsje and Sharon Wilensky.
The celebration began in our sanctuary with a beautiful reading of the Megillah by Meir Lev. It then continued into the social hall, and was followed the next morning with Megillah readings by Ronnie Lawrence at the first minyan, and Israel Shapira, who read for the ladies.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who made this year’s Purim Celebration so enjoyable.
