Special Class - Women's Megilah Reading: Thursday @ 7:00pm February 15 - With Rabbi Bodner

Only recently has the question of women reading megillah for groups of women (or men) on Purim become a practical one. In this class, we will explore the halachic sources of the issue. Join us for this special class taught by the rabbi of the Stanton Street Shul, Rabbi Aviad Bodner. Click here for more information.

Stanton's Mishloach Manot Project

Mishloach Manot, sending food gifts to friends and family, is one of the four Mitzvot performed on Purim. It is a heartfelt way to emphasize the Jewish unity that lies at the core of the Purim holiday, and to create meaningful connections within our own community at the same time. Through Stanton's Mishloach Manot project, you can participate in giving a beautiful gift basket to your friends and family at Stanton, which they will receive on Purim when they come to shul.

 

If you are a shul member, you received an email this week with your personal log-in code and instructions for how to participate in the project. If you did not receive an email and want to participate, please contact us at office@stantonstshul.com ASAP.

StantonKIDS Purim Party! Sunday, Feb 25, 12-2pm

Join us for a Purim celebration with a costume Parade and Pizza Party! Little and big noisemakers alike can dress for fun, eat food, hear music, participate in storytelling and make crafts. We will be decorating Mishloach Manot boxes used to give gifts of food to friends and neighbors. Stay tuned to find out what else Queen Esther thinks that StantonKIDS should channel. For a complete schedule of our StantonKids program, please click here.

Women's Reading of Megillat Esther on Purim

Once again, we will be holding our annual Women's Reading of Megillat Esther on Purim Night, Feb. 28 (Wednesday Night). All women are invited to attend, in costume, with noisemakers in hand!

 

If you would like to participate in the megillah reading by layning a section, or if you want to get involved with our Shabbat morning Women's Tefillah group, please email women@stantonstshul.com.

Open Mic Comedy Night on Purim Night - Feb 28

If you are NOT a comedian, but enjoy laughing, you're in for a treat. At 7:45PM, after Megilla reading, we'll be having a comedy open mic hosted by Dana Friedman! Performers will get five minutes to give us their best, funniest stuff.  If you wish to perform register in advance by e-mail to office@stantonstshul.com, and tell us how you'd like to be introduced at the mic.

Volunteering at Stanton

One of the many strengths of our shul is the variety and multiple talents and abilities of our congregants. It takes a lot to run our shul and our programming, and we can probably use your help. Are you a tech guru, web design aficionado, or social media wiz? A master event planner, fundraiser, or program coordinator? An accountant, lawyer, or investment professional? A trained carpenter, electrician, or contractor? If you have any of these or other skills, professional or amateur, that you'd like to contribute to Stanton, speak to Rabbi Bodner, Paul Ruffer, or another member of the board, and let's think about how we can help make Stanton flourish together.

We are proud to be a member synagogue of
