Purim 2011

Join us in celebrating Purim! 


On Sat. March 19, we will have a megillah reading (to tell the story of Purim) and a costume cocktail party.  This really will be "the whole megillah" - kids who can sit through it are welcome.

  • Location:  RSVP and we'll send you the location details
  • Time:  8:30 - 11pm.
  • Schedule:  We'll start with Havdalah to mark the end of Shabbat, then get immediately into the megillah.  A cocktail party will follow.
  • Bring:  Your favorite drink, to share (alcoholic or not, whatever you prefer).
  • Also Bring:  Your own mug (this is an eco-measure), and a pot to bang on (or other form of noise).
  • Wear:  A costume.  (Yeah!)
  • Volunteer:  We will need people to help out - more details coming soon.

On Sun. March 20, Kavana families will gather for story telling and Purim activities with a low-key vibe.

  • Location: Kavana H.Q. - email us for the address
  • Time: 10am-12pm
  • Activities: story telling and Purim activities (grogger and mask making etc.) 


Are you looking for a larger gathering with a carnival vibe?  Then be sure to check out the JCC's Purim Carnival!  We intentionally planned our more intimate gathering earlier in the day incase you'd like to attend both events!

  • Location:  Stroum JCC in Mercer Island - 3801 East Mercer Way, Mercer Island WA 98040.
  • Time:  Noon - 3pm.
  • Activities:  More details coming soon but you can probably expect carnival games, inflatable slide, cotton candy, DJ with dancing, music, prizes, kosher pizza lunch.
