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. Picture Esther’s triumphs set to tunes that make you feel like you’re living in a modern-day “Barbie World.” With vibrant colors, the musical stylings of Congregation Emanu-El’s cantors, and a touch of Purim magic, this celebration is about breaking stereotypes and celebrating the strength within. Join Congregation Emanu-El clergy for a Purim experience that encourages everyone to be their own hero.
