This year's Purim festivities at Beth Israel will have a BOOKS theme. Come dressed as your favorite character, author, book or publisher! Plan a group costume with friends for even more fun. After the Megilla reading, stay for the party and participate in the Purim Poetry Slam! Write a poem (no more than 12 lines, 14 if it's a sonnet) using at least three of these words: harem, feast, revenge, scroll, disguise.
