Kudos: Temple Bat Yam’s Purim in the Powder Celebration

Thanks to our generous community who donated to our event, sponsored the skiers & riders and bought countless raffle tickets, we hit our fundraising goal. After a fun day on the slopes with over 40 participants (a record in itself), we continued our holiday celebration back at the temple to be entertained with a wonderful Barbie-themed Purim Shpiel (a play that tells the story of Purim) written & directed by our temple member and theatre master, Pam Taylor. The actors were our religious school students who put on a magnificent performance. A scrumptious BBQ meal complete with over half a dozen varieties of hamantaschen and other baked goodies filled the bellies of over 60 Purim party revelers.

A very special thank you to our many volunteers who made this event possible. Bubbe Alexis and Janet Blumberg led the team from obtaining donations, publicizing the event, cooking, cleaning up and everything in between. In no particular order, we would like to acknowledge the following helpers: Lou Friedman, Rabbi Evon Yakar, Rabbi Lauren Blasingame-Pack Ben-Shoshan, Galit Greenwood, Adriana Greenwood, Larry Sidney, Craig Schorr, Amanda Taylor, Pam Taylor, Janet Blumberg, Alexis Wagner, and Kay Levitt.
