March 1, 2026
Spiel: 10:00 a.m.
Carnival: 11:00 a.m.
The fairytale begins with our Purim spiel in the Barish Sanctuary. We will sing and dance to your favorite Disney tunes. We hope you will join the Emanu El staff, and our volunteer and youth choirs on the magical journey that begins with a megillah reading by the Royal Herald.
If you are unable to attend in person, you can watch the livestream on our website, the Emanu El Facebook page, along with our YouTube and Roku channels.
Following the royal proclamation, one and all are cordially summoned to the joyous Purim Carnival — graciously sponsored by the noble Helfman Religious School Committee — where enchantment, games, and delights await in abundance!
From games to bouncy inflatables, golden hamantaschen to enchanted arts & crafts, and of course those magical confetti eggs — there shall be delights aplenty for young and old alike!
