Join us on Saturday, March 23rd, from 5:00-7:30 pm at Reformation (212 E. Capitol St., NE) for a Purim Party that's fun for all ages! We'll hear the megillah, see a special Barbie Purim spiel, do a variety of Purim activities, and celebrate together. There will be pizza, snacks, and hamantaschen for all -- and alcoholic beverages for those of legal age who wish to imbibe in the spirit of the holiday.

The party will start at 5:00 upstairs in the Sanctuary with the megillah reading, followed by the Barbie Spiel at 5:30. At 6:00, or whenever the spiel ends, we'll move downstairs to the Parish Hall for the rest of the festivities. After the official party ends at 7:30, adults are invited to join Rabbi Hannah at an unofficial offsite "after-party" at Tunnicliff's (222 7th St., SE).

Also as part of our Purim observance, we'll be raising money to support Everyone Home DC -- and it's going to involve cakes and pies! Bakers, plan to bring cakes and pies to the party for a cake/pie raffle. Eaters, plan to bring cash or checks to participate in the tzedakah giving and in cake/pie receiving! The raffle draw will occur at about 6:45.

If you'd like to attend the big party, please register here asap (and no later than March 20th). We need to know how many people to be prepared for.

Note: Please do not bring toy weapons to the party -- or backpacks or large bags unless absolutely necessary.
