Purim... "Grease is the Word!" - March 20, 2005
Purim Celebration... "Grease is the Word"

Sunday, March 20, 2005

Congregants enjoyed an action-packed day as Temple Jeremiah celebrated the holiday of Purim in a rock and roll "Grease" way. The day's events included:

Second Annual Shushan Shuffle 5K Run/Walk - Over 60 people took part in this event, raising close to $1000 for SHALVA, a local Jewish agency that helps victims of domestic violence and abuse. Thanks to our sponsors, our Steering Committee, our volunteers, our runners/walkers, our additional donors and our "Shushan Shuffle" graphic designer for their help in making this year's program a success.

Purim Spiel - Our talented troupe of Jeremiah staff and board members presented their own rendition of the Purim story, complete with greggers and a reading of the Megillah.

Purim Carnival - Greaser Danny Zuko and the virtuous Sandy Olsson slid in with the rest of the gang at our ever-popular Purim Carnival. Participants sang Karaoke, bounced on the Moonwalk, played games, redeemed tickets and enjoyed lunch and treats.
