Congregation Sholom

Congregation Sholom presents its annual Purim Spiel, which commemorates the saving of the Jewish community in ancient Persia.

Titled, “Marty Potter and the Philosopher’s Bagel” the spiel will bring humor to a serious story. It will be presented in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, on Monday, March 6, at 7 p.m.; admission is free.

The Megillah reading will follow as well as homemade Hamantaschen pastries (which have a fruit filling).

Congregation Sholom will hold services via Zoom with Rabbi Eric Dangott on Friday, March 3, at 6:30 p.m. Rabbi Dangott will also lead the hybrid service on Saturday, March 4, in Clubhouse 3, Room 9, and via Zoom at 10 a.m.

To receive a Zoom link, contact Jeff Sacks at 714-642-0122.

Saturday’s Torah portion will be Tetzaveh from the book of Exodus. Tetzaveh (You Shall Command) opens as God instructs Moses to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. God details how to make the priestly clothing, how to sanctify the priests and offer sacrifices during the seven days of inauguration in the Mishkan (Tabernacle), and how to build the golden altar.

Those who would like to bake Hamantaschen for Purim, should go to Carol Levine’s house at 1520 Northwood Road, 244-L, on Sunday, March 5, at 1 p.m.

Rabbi Shmuel Marcus will hold a Purim Megillah reading and brunch at his home on Tuesday, March 7, at 10 a.m. Carpools will leave at 9:30 from the Clubhouse 3 parking lot. RSVP to Murray Pollack at murrjet@yahoo.com.

The Passover Seder will be on April 5 at 6:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 3 Room 2. The cost is $36 for members and $54 for non-members.
