Purim 2025

Megillah Reading and Study with Rabbis Jaffe and Londy
Thursday, March 13 at 4:45 pm

On this Purim, don’t miss the opportunity to hear the words of the Megillah and to delve into some of the themes of the holiday as they relate to our modern tradition.

We will be relating to some age-old themes from the Book of Esther and going down the rabbit hole of the backwards nature of the festival.

All are welcome!  Looking forward to seeing you there.

Celebrate Purim!

Mishloach Manot Fundraiser
Order by Monday, March 3

We are so excited to launch our eighth annual Mishloach Manot Purim Fundraiser benefiting our Religious School! 

Mishloach Manot - sending food and gifts to friends and family - is one of the four mitzvot performed on Purim. Please join us in our synagogue-wide mitzvah benefiting our Religious School, where families can purchase a gift for other members of the TBE community. 

Members can pick up their Mishloach Manot at the temple from Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 23. If you are unable to pick it up, please contact us at PurimFundraiser@bethelnw.org 

Here's how it works: 
For just $3.00 per recipient, you can send a gift to anyone on the temple’s membership list, school roster, or clergy/staff team. Or, for an optimum donation of $180, you can choose as many recipients as you like, including the entire congregation with just one click! This is the best value and will automatically cover your reciprocity. And it means that every family on the list will receive one gift and a Purim email that lists all of the members who participated in purchasing the Mishloach Manot. 

If you have not received an email from the ‘TBE Religious School Committee’ with the subject title: Mishloach Manot is Here!!!, on February 4 or if you have any questions, please contact us at PurimFundraiser@bethelnw.org

Thank you in advance for your generosity and participation in this important fundraiser for TBE’s Religious School.
