Hadassah, a Hadassah
chapter for Greater
Detroit and its suburbs, is hold-
ing a virtual celebration of Purim
on March 3 at 7:30 p.m. with
an evening of music, friendship
and entertainment, featuring a
performance from Lisa Soble
Siegmann.
Siegmann, a singer, songwriter,
cantorial soloist and song leader,
began singing professionally at
age 5 — and hasn’t stopped. The
Bloomfield Hills native will sing
for about 45 minutes, including
some songs about Purim.
“She’s going to do a great
performance because she
always does,
” said Beverly Yost,
Hadassah membership and out-
reach vice president and the proj-
ect leader for the event. “We can
count on Lisa to deliver a pro-
gram that’s going to be fabulous,
and her name is well-known, so
I think it’s a draw. I don’t think it
could be better.
”
Siegmann is a program part-
ner at the Max. M & Marjorie
S. Fisher Foundation, spent 18
years at the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Detroit and four
years at the JCC of Metropolitan
Detroit, with a main focus on
Jewish family education.
There will be goodie bags
available for those interested,
available at the Hadassah House
(5030 Orchard Lake Road in
West Bloomfield) on the day of
the program. Hadassah staff will
deliver the bags to people’s cars
in a drive-up manner. The bags
will have Purim-themed items.
Even though it’s on Zoom,
celebrating a holiday like Purim
with friends, music and enter-
tainment still has meaning, Yost
believes.
“I think it’s extremely import-
ant, especially in these times,
”
Yost said. “With this pandemic,
I think we’ve all felt somewhat
disconnected from normal life,
and to have the opportunity to
celebrate together is very import-
ant to all of us. It makes us feel
happier. It hopefully will make us
feel more connected and remind
us there is still joy out there in
the world to be had, despite all
the concerns we all have about
the pandemic and the limitations
that have been placed on all of
us.
”
Yost hopes the event reiterates
the impact Hadassah makes
and all that it offers. “I hope
it’s a reminder of how import-
ant Hadassah is — what an
important role Hadassah plays
in building community — and
I hope people are reminded of
how joyous our Jewish heritage
can be.
”
There’s an $18 event fee. Those interest-
ed are asked to register by March 1 at
hadassahmidwest.org/RooseveltPurim.
