Hostage Tag Project Donations in the Lobby
Beth El is proud to participate in The Hostage Tag Project, a collaborative effort of UJA-Federation and the Hostages and Missing Families Forum. We are collecting hostage tags and pins that will be transformed into a public, commemorative art installation that memorializes our collective activism for generations to come. You’ve worn these symbols close to your heart. Now, let them tell a larger story of our resilience and advocacy over the past two years. We’re honored to support this initiative. Our collection box can be found in the lobby. Thank you for being part of this meaningful moment.
The Bulletin is Beth El’s print magazine that arrives in member mailboxes every January, March, May, September, and November.
Purim is one of the most serious days on the Jewish calendar, just disguised as a party. God’s name is hidden, identities blur, heroes and villains trade places, and the world turns upside down. V’nahafoch hu.
Our mystical tradition plays with the name itself. Yom HaKippurim literally means, “The Day Like Purim.” This pun suggests a similarity: on one day we reach holiness through fasting and white clothes; the other through costumes, an elaborate feast, and joy. Different paths, but same spiritual potential.
So this year, we’re leaning into that holy inversion with a theme: Heroes & Villains.
Costumes aren’t an extra—they’re part of the spiritual work of Purim. They help us loosen certainty, play with identity, and experience transformation in ways the rest of the year doesn’t allow.
In the coming weeks, you’ll see us warming up with videos, creativity, and a little silliness. We hope you’ll join us. Come dressed as hero or villain, however you interpret that.
Can’t wait to see who you show up as!
