T

he family-friendly, community-wide Purim celebration 
at Adat Shalom Synagogue, from the Megillah & Shpiel 
to the Purim Carnival, and on through the service and 
Megillah reading brought together people of all of ages. The car-
nival featured games, inflatables, music and activity booths led 
by summer camps and Motor City USY (MCUSY). The enthu-
siasm was high, the costumes were spectacular, and participants 
helped support Yad Ezra by bringing unopened boxes of pasta to 
use as groggers.
The Purim partners were Adat Shalom Synagogue, 
Congregation Beth Ahm, Congregation B’nai Moshe, 
Congregation B’nai Israel, Congregation Beth Shalom and the 
Detroit Jewish News. Dish Kosher Cuisine and Star Trax once again 
provided community Purim fun!
