MARCH 23 • 2023 | 47

The family-friendly, community-wide 
Purim celebration at Adat Shalom 
Synagogue on March 6, from the family 
Dr. Seuss-shan Shpiel to the Purim 
Carnival, and on through the service 
and Megillah reading, brought together 
people of all of ages. 
The carnival featured games led by 
enthusiastic teen volunteers, inflatables 
and music. Hebrew Free Loan, summer 
camps and Motor City USY (MCUSY) 
offered additional activity booths that 

were a big hit. The enthusiasm was 
high, the costumes were spectacular 
and, together, the community 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 Dish Kosher Cuisine, 
and Star Trax once again provided 
community Purim fun.
