Shabbat Purim@WHC – Purim Goes Pop!

March 14 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Boy Bands and Girl Groups and Haman, Oh My!

Our annual retelling of the Purim story (a shpiel if you will) is always a highlight of the WHC calendar and this year is no exception. Cantors Bortnick and Hamstra lead the clergy as we pay tribute to some of your favorite pop groups: Spice Girls, N’Sync, The Supremes, Boyz II Men, Destiny’s Child, One Direction, and many more!

So dress up as Diana Ross, Sporty Spice, Harry Styles, or your favorite pop star, and get ready for a night of singing and dancing in the aisles as we take the megillah to another level!

We promise to have hamantashen and other great food before and after the service.

 

We invite you to end your week and welcome Shabbat with us!

At 6:00 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.

Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, Jenga, and cornhole games, create at a coloring table, and do other arts & crafts activities.

6:30 pm – Our Shabbat service begins.

Watch the Livestream

After the service – Stay for dessert, or more dinner and drinks!

Special thanks to our musicians who add so much to the service. We wouldn’t have them without the support of the Irene & Abe Pollin Music Program Initiative.
