Join us Saturday Night for Purim! Sunday Open House!

Here’s Another Fun Fact About Purim: Spanish-dialect Ladino-speaking Jews great each other on the holiday by saying "Purim Allegre!" We’ll be celebrating Purim at Joyful Judaism: Pleasantville Community Synagogue, 219 Bedford Road, Pleasantville (parking on Clark Street) this Saturday night. Expect silly songs, costume parade, noise-makers, three-cornered pastries, and the reading of the riveting, riotous Purim story (Megillah)! Come in costume, and bring your kids, their friends, and your friends! Early enough for the littlest kids. Saturday from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.

And then Join us on Sunday for Open House: Looking for a synagogue? Come visit us during our fourth annual “PCS Palooza” Open House week. Eight days and nights of events. Empty-Nesters; Families With Young Children. There’s something for everyone – and dinner’s on us! A full schedule of events is below. We kick off this Sunday at 11:00 am.
