Before services begin, we read a special poem by Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi called Mi Khamokha, which describes the story of Esther in gorgeous poetic Hebrew. During the Torah service, we read a special Maftir (Deut 25:17-19) that reminds us to erase the memory of Amalek, the embodiment of evil in the world.

Kahal Joseph will kick off the carnival with a festive Megilla reading during Shaharit. The service starts at 9:15 AM, with an estimated Megilla time of 10:00 AM.
There will be a special opportunity to fulfill two other mitsvot of Purim by contributing to the funds for Mahatsit Hashekel and Matanot Le'evyonim (funds used to support the poor).
Don't forget your festive meal to make the mitsvot of Purim complete. Food can be bought at the carnival, and the proceeds will go to underwriting other great programs at Kahal!
