Purim 5779

Shabbat Zakhor
Sat, March 16

During the Torah service, there is a special Maftir (Deut 25:17-19) that reminds us to erase the memory of Amalek, the embodiment of evil in the world.  After the Haftara, we read part of special poem by Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi called Mi Khamokha, which describes the story of Esther in gorgeous poetic Hebrew.   Liked it?  We will recite all 83 stanzas in full before Minha!


Kahal is very grateful to the Kelly family,
​whose support of the carnival is essential to it happening!
