Friday February 27, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Temple & Livestream

Event Series: Shabbat@WHC

The Wizard of Oz, The Wiz, Wicked— these are the inspirations for this year’s Purim shpiel: PURIM IN OZ! Whether you want to dress as the Tin Man, the Wizard, Glinda, or a flying monkey (or any costume you choose — including our amazing Purim T-Shirts — more info below), we’ll be heading over the rainbow for a Shabbat Purim more powerful than a Kansas twister.

This year, we’ve got something new – our Purim Carnivals will both be happening at Temple the same night! Following our Tot Shabbat & Family Dinner (5:00 pm), the little ones can try their hand at carnival games down in Munchkinland; and after Shabbat Purim@WHC (6:00 pm), kids of all ages can join in the fun. Plus, we’ll have hamantashen aplenty at our Emerald City After Party as we celebrate the holiday.

Also new this year, you can order a Purim in Oz t-shirt! We have both youth and adult sizes available, but you MUST ORDER BY FEBRUARY 1 in order to pick it up before the service. RSVP below

Want to order hamantashen to take home with you? Order Now

At 6:00 pm and again after the service: Have something to eat (to tide you over or as your dinner), a drink (we offer a full bar, plus non-alcoholic options), and connect with your community.

Kids are always welcome, and they’ll be able to eat before (and after) the service, play Connect 4, or create at a coloring table.

6:30 pm – Our Shabbat service begins.

Watch the Livestream

After the service – Stay for dessert, or more food and drinks!

Shabbat Purim is generously sponsored by the Susan and Stephen Porter Memorial Fund. Special thanks to our musicians who add so much to the service. We wouldn’t have them without the support of the Irene & Abe Pollin Music Program Initiative.
