We hit our fundraising goal thanks to our generous community businesses and individuals who donated to our event, sponsored the skiers and riders, and bought countless raffle tickets!. After a full day on the slopes with over 40 participants, we continued our holiday celebration back at the temple to be entertained with a wonderful Purim Shpiel (a play that tells the story of Purim) directed by our temple member and theatre master, Pam Taylor. The actors were our religious school students who put on a magnificent performance. A scrumptious BBQ meal with over half a dozen varieties of hamantaschen and other baked goodies filled the bellies of over 60 Purim party revelers.

A very special thank you to our many volunteers who made this event possible. Bubbe Alexis and Jessica Teitelbaum led the team by obtaining donations, publicizing the event, cooking, cleaning up, and everything in between. In no particular order, we would like to acknowledge the following helpers: Leo Szumel, Rabbi Evon Yakar, Rabbi Lauren Blasingame-Pack Ben-Shoshan, Galit Greenwood, Dave Blumberg, Larry Green, Adam Percey, Penny Springer, Pam Taylor, Janet Blumberg, Alexis Wagner, Kay Levitt, Carol Matera, Richard Matera, Laura Schorr and many other helpful hands.
