Purim Schedule & Megillah Readings

CELEBRATE PURIM 2026!

Over 2000 years ago in the country of Persia, King Achashverosh took a new bride, Queen Esther, a secret Jewess.
With the help of G-d, she saved the Jewish nation from complete annihilation by Haman.
Each year on the fourteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar we celebrate the joyous holiday of Purim to commemorate this great miracle.
There are four special Mitzvos we perform on Purim:

1
HEAR
the reading of the Megillat Esther (story of Purim) on Purim night and again the next day.
2
SEND
Mishloach Manot (food packages containing at least two ready-to-eat items) to at least one friend.
3
GIVE
Matanot La’evyonim (charity to the poor) to at least two needy people or put money into charity boxes.
4
EAT
a Purim feast during Purim day with family and friends.

If you know of anyone in the hospital, a senior home, or who is homebound and would appreciate a Purim visit, please let us know.
We would love to bring them joy and cheer! Hamantaschen and Matzah Ball Soup included.
