** 03-14-25 Shabbat Service: Shushan Purim Shabbat! We had a fun, spiced-up Purim Spiel, featuring Rabbi Idan’s twisted take on Esther’s Megillah. Rabbi and congregants sported costumes, made noise with groggers, and sang along to the “masked-up” prayers, set to melodies by The Beatles, Pink, The Rolling Stones, and more, performed by the Ahavat Olam Ensemble! **

00:37:07 Sermon
