hamantashen & PURIM
Order Hamantashen
KI offers its congregants the opportunity to share the joy of Purim by giving others Mishloah Manot gift bags filled with our own KI-made hamantashen. Mishloah Manot describes the mitzvah of exchanging gifts of food during the holiday of Purim. Anyone may also purchase hamantashen by the dozen.
Purim Concert
The KI Band is pleased to announce its 16th annual Purim concert! On Saturday, March 8th, please join us in the social hall at 7:30 p.m. for Purim 2025: Film Night.
Inspired by an annual summer highlight at Tanglewood, the band will present an array of iconic songs from hit movies over the past six decades. From '60s classics The Graduate and Easy Rider to '70s hits Grease and Saturday Night Fever to '80s blockbusters such as Top Gun and Back to the Future, all the way to more modern box office sensations like Frozen, there will be something for everyone in this year's revue!
Once again, the "house band" will feature a rotating cast of special guests, including musicians from Temple Anshe Amunim and Hevreh, as well as children from our Hebrew School, performing over 15 songs with parody lyrics telling the Purim story. The Purim concert is a highlight of the year, promising great fun, silliness, dancing, conviviality, and a joyous celebration for all ages!
Tickets are $15 ($5 for ages 13-20, and kids 12 and under are free) and can be reserved online at https://www.knessetisrael.org/rsvp or by contacting Diana (office@knessetisrael.org, 413-445-4872). Snacks and drinks will be available and are included with your ticket purchase. We are excited to see you on March 8th!
