Purim Costume Soiree: March 2007
The atrium at Neveh Shalom was transformed into something that none of us had ever seen. Even if you grew up there, you almost couldn't recognize it. In attendance were Superwoman, a stormtrooper, Tinkerbell, and or course Ester and Vashti. The food was good, the company was great, and many prizes were won!
See the list of raffle prizes and donors.

Hamantaschen Making: March 2007
We took over the Neveh Shalom kitchen and got busy making over 250 hamantaschen. Of course we made some traditional ones: apricot, poppyseed, and prune. But, we also experimented a bit with banana, coconut, and chocolate. The results were
amazing and delicious. Many became the treats for the Purim Soiree. |
