Purim

This weekend is our Purim weekend. First, Val, Haley and I went to Kabbalat Shabbat services on Friday night at PTS, which had some special Purim moments. Oh, and the Rabbi asked me to read a section of the service, which was unexpected and delightful. Then we all got costumes together to go to a special Purim celebration in San Francisco. It took place at Temple Beth Israel Judea, and was a combined effort of people from that shul, as well as from Congregation New Tamid, Congregation Or Shalom, and Temple B’nai Emunah. We saw George and Linda there, as well as Rabbi Mark and his family and other congregants from B’nei Emunah. There was a potluck a lovely Havdalah service, a totally irreverent Megillah reading, and finally a few funny comedians. Val was a pirate, Katelyn was “Russia” from the Hitalia series, Haley was Cleopatra, and I was a sort of witch-woman (using my gown from Halloween). George and Linda were also in costume, I think as Queen Esther and Mordechai, respectively.  Photos here.

This morning is the Purim celebration at PTS.
