Purim Extravaganza Video
Enjoy Anytime!
It was a dark time for the Jews, but we persevered, and our people once again thrived. No, not Purim, we're talking about COVID. One silver lining of 2021 was this great video that retells the Purim story with music, humour, and guest appearances by your fellow Emanu-Elniks. It's great for kids and children at heart. Watch anytime HERE.
Mishloach Manot Campaign
We invite you to participate in an easy yet powerful mitzvah -- two mitzvot actually, wrapped together as one gift. This year we are observing the Purim mitzvot of giving gifts to those in need (matanot la’evyonim) and exchanging gifts with friends (matanot ish l’rei’eihu) in our 5785 Mishloach Manot Exchange. Together, we can support Leket (Israel’s national food bank) and our own congregational community. Learn more HERE.
Last-minute updates to our schedule due to inclement weather or other factors are HERE.
