Purim: The Whole Megillah!

  • Christ Church 960 East Jefferson Detroit, MI, 48226 United States (map)

Join the Downtown Synagogue as we return to our annual community reading of the Megillah for the holiday of Purim to commemorate the defeat of Haman's (BOOOOO!) plot to get rid of the Jews, foiled by the heroic and dazzling Esther (YAAAAAY!).

We require all participants to remain properly masked at all times and to practice social distancing as best as possible. Come in costume and bring a box of kosher pasta to use as a grogger - all to be donated to Yad Ezra after Purim. Hamantashen and beverages will be provided.
