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.

NEW CLASS - Introduction to Jewish Observance with Lindsey and Rabbi Bodner - Beginning Feb 20

This course, which will meet on Tuesday nights, co-taught by Lindsey and Rabbi Bodner covers basic halachic practice in the areas of Shabbat, kashrut, holidays and more. Participants will increase familiarity with the siddur and synagogue prayer service and gain an understanding of life-cycle events and interpersonal mitzvot. All those who would like a practical perspective on Jewish observance, especially beginners and conversion candidates, are welcome! For more info, registration and a complete schedule, please click here.

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 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
