Purim at Olam Tikvah brings everyone together: children, grandparents, empty-nesters, and young professionals who haven't contemplated children yet.  We're noisy and rambunctious - and still we appreciate the chanting of the megillah by our talented congregants. See our Purim 5766 and Purim 5767 pages to see how much fun we had in recent years!  See the Rabbis' Study page for images of Rabbi Kalender's and Rabbi Ben-Gideon's "alter egos."

Purim Services with Full Megillah Reading, Thursday, March 20, 7:00pm. Take a stroll down Penny Lane with Mordechai, King Achashverosh, Haman, and Hasach aka John, Paul, George, and Ringo at the Purim Celebration including singing, fun and merriment for all! Dress: It’s up to you … come dressed as your favorite Beatle or a 1960’s Beatle fan!

Pre-Purim Pizza Dinner, 6:00pm. Cost: $9.00/adult, $5.00/children 11 and under, FREE/3 and younger. RSVP by March 14. Your check payable to Olam Tikvah is your reservation; please include number of adults, children and 3/under with your payment.

Mishloach Manot. It's not Purim if you can't send mishloach manot (gifts of food) to all of your nearest and dearest friends. OT and Sisterhood make it easy for you to send gifts of food and help the Capital Campaign at the same time. We deliver the bags to your friends and neighbors in the area.

For more information, or to volunteer to deliver mishloach manot bags see our Mishloach Manot page or contact Brenda Klemow or Joanne Stryer. Phone numbers are available through the Directory or the main office.

Mishloach Manot in Israel: You have the opportuntiy to send Mishloach Manot to your children in Israel, to friends and family, to lone soldiers, and to victims of terror. There are two options available to you:
1. Check out www.uscjisraelbaskets.com. A portion of each purchase goes to support scholarship for our Israel programs.
2. Check out www.gilisgoodies.com. Once again, a portion of each purchase goes to support the United Synagogue Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center scholarship program.
Various items are added to replace wine in gift packages sent to those who are below the age of 21.
