Calling All Purim Superstars!
Hello, CBST families!
 
Purim is just around the corner, and we can’t wait to bring the whole megillah to life this year with you, in a whole new way—a Virtual Purim Shpiel, starring you!

Led by the artists of CBST’s Aggadah Adventures, you are cordially invited to perform in our virtual Purim Shpiel. Kids and their grownups alike can create, collaborate, and record short moments and scenes from Megilat Esther, like booing Haman, competing to be the next Queen of Shushan, and more!
Taking part is easy! Our Purim Shpiel directors will guide you through bringing the Purim moments to life and will record your performance for you, which they will edit into our final Purim show. Anyone in your household is invited to participate—yes, even babies, teens and pets!

These recordings will be compiled into our Virtual Shpiel, which will be shared and streamed on Purim with our CBST community.

This Shabbat/Saturday, February 6

DIY Recording
  • Easier to record on your own time? Unable to join us on February 6? Do it yourself!
  • All you’ll need is a phone camera, your imagination, and these instructions on what to record, and how.
  • Footage submitted by Saturday, February 13, will get edited into the final project.

Questions? Need more info? Email our Purim Shpiel Co-Directors, Ben Weber and Arielle Lever at ariellelever@gmail.com.
 
We can't wait to see what you come up with! We're looking forward to watching the Virtual Purim Shpiel together later this month. More details on that coming soon!

🐝 P.S. Israeli Dancing with Camp Havaya is on Sunday, February 7, at 1pm! You can learn some of our favorite line dances, and no experience is necessary. Just come ready to move, laugh, and have fun. For families with children of all ages—teens included! On Sunday, click here to join in.
