5 PM | BYO Dairy/Parve Family Dinner

Bring your own dinner and enjoy a relaxed, festive meal together before the evening begins.

6 PM | Ma’ariv & Megillah Reading

Join us for evening services followed by the Megillah reading — groggers provided and costumes encouraged!

7 PM | The Legendary Beth Am Purim Spiel

The citizens of Shushan take to the streets to protest Haman, director of DICE, and his unlawful arrests. Can ex-convict Mordechai and his beautiful niece Esther save the Jews from being deported to Djibouti? Any resemblance to current events and individuals is purely coincidental.

Join us for our beloved annual musical parody! This year, the spiel returns with a brand-new, top-secret mashup. Expect epic drama, unlikely heroes, high notes, higher kicks, and a battle between darkness and destiny… all with a Beth Am twist.

Purim Spiel Program – coming soon!
