Dear Proficient, Experienced or Considering-it-for-the-First-Time Megillat Esther Chanter!
It’s been too long since we had the opportunity to consider breaking our record for most chanters at a Purim reading, but……..opportunity now knocks! COVID may still be here, but so are we!!
For those of you who participated in our past record-breaking events, I would love you to do it again to help us break the current record of 96. Not only that, but I would be happy if you were to read the same section as in previous years, if not taken by some other motivated Megillah master! What could be easier? Just a little review and you’re all set. For those of you who have never yet chanted Megillat Esther, this is your year to enter the fray! All you need to do is demonstrate willingness and I will be happy to provide you with all the necessary materials to be empowered to join this distinguished group!
Please be in touch with me or Faye as soon as possible to confirm your place in the Beth David Purim tradition of Multiple Megillah Masters!

See you at the reading table on Monday, March 6th, at 6:30 P.M.! IN COSTUME!! Simchat Purim Aleichem! The joy of Purim should be upon you!
