6:00 PM - Purim Community Celebration and Megillah Reading (In person and via Zoom)
Join us for the annual mitzvah of listening to the story of Esther and Mordechai, chanted by over 25 members of all ages from our CBE community.
Celebrate this season of joy, fun, and laughter, with Klezmer music by our special guest Barry Shapiro and CBE musicians! A short Purim service will be followed by the Megillah reading. Wear your costumes, bring your noisemakers, and come prepared to cheer for Mordechai and Esther, and stomp out that other guy’s name.
We’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll cheer, and we’ll make noise. Hamantaschen, light snacks, and the famous CBE “grageritas” will be available. The service will be held in person in the CBE sanctuary and can also be accessed by Zoom.
If you plan to join via Zoom, you can find the link and password in the latest Star-Lite or you may email ritual@bethelohim.org or call the CBE office at 978-263-3061. For those joining us via ZOOM, we will use this online Megillat Esther and this song sheet.
