Get Ready for a Purim Shabbat Extravaganza with Temple Tikvah
Friday, March 14, 7 p.m.
Temple Beth-El is thrilled to welcome Temple Tikvah for a night of joy, laughter, and celebration! This unforgettable evening will be packed with Purim fun, starting with a lively shpiel—featuring singing, acting, and plenty of hilarious antics.

We’ll read the Megillah, so get ready to make some serious noise! Bring a box of pasta to use as a grogger. All pasta will then be donated to the St. Aloysius Interfaith Food Pantry. And the energy doesn’t stop there—Stephanie & the Shabbatones will fill the room with incredible music. With drums, clarinet, bass guitar, and our cantorial soloist’s powerful voice, they blend Jewish and secular sounds to create an uplifting and spirited prayer experience.

After all the fun, stick around for a festive Purim Oneg—because what’s Purim without delicious hamantaschen? Don’t miss this night of joy, music, and community!
