Celebrate Purim!
Join BETC's multi-faceted celebration of Purim, one of the most fun, festive, and joyous holidays on the Jewish calendar. The Purim Carnival for BETC students and their families is planned for Sunday morning, March 1st, in the Zonis Auditorium. You won't want to miss the untraditional Erev Purim service at 7:30 pm on Monday March 2nd, followed immediately by the Purim Spiel. The theme for this year's Spiel is "Wicked," featuring familiar tunes with creative new lyrics befitting the occasion. Rehearsals are ongoing for the Purim Spiel - contact Cantor Robins if you are interested in joining the fun.

This is a welcoming community for any crafters to drop in. Bring your materials to work on, or pick up a starter kit. Email questions to
