Purim is a holiday that is a thankful and joyful affirmation of Jewish survival, focused on joy and hope. We celebrate an ancient tale—the Book of Esther, aka the Megillah—to remind us of the imperative to perform acts of tikkun olam, “repairing the world.”
This year, CBE’s Purim festivities, in addition to offering a megillah’s worth of ways to have fun, will also include ample opportunities to do good. Our congregation will enjoy pizza, hamentaschen, carnival games (skeeball! spin art! bouncy house!), and song—and in cooperation with City Harvest, CHIPS soup kitchen, Habitat for Humanity – New York City, and Masbia, we’ll also learn how we can come together to truly make a difference.
