After several years of sponsoring the J's annual Purim Fest (which is still happening...grab your tickets!), we're proud to announce our first in-person Purim event since the pandemic.

After a brief history of the holiday and recounting of the classic myth by our Madrikh, Jeff Treistman, we'll break hamantaschen over some spirited board games and kids games, including a grogger painting station and Purim Puppetshow activity, led by our Sunday School Director, Deirdre O'Dwyer. Family-friendly costumes are encouraged!

• BYOG - Bring Your Own Games! Have a favorite or underappreciated game you want to play with everyone? Bring it along! Fast, easy to start/easy to learn, family-friendly games are most encouraged, but more focused, mature games are also welcome. (But let's keep it tasteful!)

FAQ: What distinguishes a traditional Purim celebration from a secular humanist one?

Accessibility Information:

• Venue is fully wheelchair accessible, however all doors are manual, not automatic.
• Venue has heating, but not cooling. If cooling is required (we don't anticipate this in March), fans are available on request.
• Venue is fully-booked on the day of our event (so it is expected to have heavy foot-traffic), and there are no sensory safe spaces on-site, so if you need respite from the people or noise, you'll need to step outside. If you anticipate this, bring a coat with you!
• Outside food and non-alcoholic drink are permitted, and there are public water fountains on-site.
• Trained service animals, as always, are permitted, but no pets.
• All bathrooms on-site are gender-neutral.
• Venue has its own free multi-level parking lot on-site, with the ADA-reserved spaces located in the upper lot.
• Venue is accessible via public transit route 5, and to a lesser extent, RapidRide E Line, if you're willing and able to walk about 4-5 blocks to/from the stop.
