Did I just see Jake and Elwood Blues up on the bima davening minha to the tune of  "Soul Man"  with Elwood harmonizing with a harmonica?  And who was that magician with the powerful voice throwing candy out to the cheering congregation?  Well, Jake and Elwood Blues were none other than our own Alan Weiner and Mitch Delcau like you've never seen them before dancing arm and arm around the bima. And the magician was our own Rabbi Wise. Purim is one chance during the year to see our entire congregation let their hair down (or put their hair up or put on masks or hats or wigs...you name it!).

The megillah was read by our Adath Israel teens, including  Elka Bresler, Lenny Bresler, Lianna Costantini, Gabe Englander, Rafi Goldfarb, Arthur Kurtzman, Jake Paul, Lainey Paul, Hannah Rashkin,  Nina Schneider,  Brandon Sosna, Jonah Raider Roth,  Steven Winkler, Tami Winkler, Adam Wolf, Freddie Wolf, Lauren Zakem, and Zachary Zakem .

This year, special macaroni groggars were sold as a fund raiser and the macaroni boxes were later donated to the food pantry.

After the "not so formal" service, a celebration featuring the Klezmer Project continued in the Lerner.Fisher Hall with dancing, drink, juggling, balloons, and more.

There was a raffle held for 2 free tickets to Israel. Proceeds helped to purchase new chairs for our Lerner.Fisher Hall. The winners were Larry and Joanne Essig.
