Purim is less than 4 weeks away! Here's a quick preview of our upcoming shenanigans.

• Purim Chaos: The Committee for Purim Chaos is actively plotting various chaotic activities, but needs some financial support as well as assistance in setting up. For more information and/or to sponsor something, please click to our Purim Chaos page.
• Shabbat Zachor (March 6-7) - Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Aaron Koller: Please join us on the shabbat before Purim when we will welcome Dr. Aaron Koller, as our Shabbat Scholar-in-Residence. Dr. Koller has recently published a book on Esther and is a personable and fascinating speaker. He's even a bit controversial.
