12:15 – 1:00 pm: Barbie-Themed Purim Shpiel
Empower yourself at our Purim festival where the spirit of Barbie meets the strength of Esther. Step into a world of courage and resilience as the Barbie-themed shpiel takes center stage.

Join Congregation Emanu-El clergy for a Purim experience that encourages everyone to be their own hero.
