Purim Shabbat! From the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, Pink, and Mary Poppins, join us for a special musically uplifting “Purim Shabbat” service featuring a performance by the Ahavat Olam Ensemble.

Rabbi Idan’s sermon for this Shabbat is: “From Purim to Present: Lessons on Genocide, Antisemitism, and the Impact of Words"

Sermon excerpt: “Unfortunately, these days, we are witnessing a great deal of misinformation. This generation heavily relies on social media, which often serves as a hub for dangerously deceptive and effective propaganda and hate. The story of Purim urges us all, today, and especially students, to take it upon themselves to study history from credible sources and not simply accept others' narratives, particularly on social media. When people continually repeat misinformation, it can significantly impact their understanding of reality, as well as that of those on the receiving end of their messages.” - Rabbi Idan
