Purim is coming! Dust off the costumes, get out the baking pans and read up on the best Jewish jokes of all time. Join Temple Beth Sholom and the Aquarian minyan in a riotous evening celebrating the holiday of Purim on Monday night March 2nd at 7 P.M. at TBS

In addition to listening to the chanting of Megillat Esther, we will have our Hamentaschen bake- off. Nutella? Poppy seed? Chocolate chips? What are your favorite fillings that will wow the expert panel of judges who will be looking for quality of presentation, excellence of taste and exquisite aromas.

Baking not your style? There’s always the best joke contest judged by our expert panel of judges who are world-renowned executors of Jewish humor themselves. If jokes or cookies aren’t the way you roll how about learning to chant a few verses of the Megillah. Recordings available upon request.

All ages welcome!

Live from TBS - It’s Saturday Night!
Shabbat, Mar 21st 6:00p to 9:00p
Join TBS as we put the funny in fundraising with Live From TBS - It's Saturday Night! Tickets include full dinner and drink ticket, access to our silent auction, and a terrific comedy show featuring 3 comedians! This is sure to be a night to remember, all while performing the mitzvah of raising funds for TBS! Our lineup for the evening includes: PAT MCCOY was voted in high school “Most Likely to Recede". He refuses to grow up, which might explain his knack for turning everyday absurdities into sharp, self-deprecating comedy. Whether he's poking fun at himself or the ever-evolving chaos of modern life, Pat brings a laid-back honesty that audiences instantly connect with. He's shared the stage with comedy icons like Brian Regan, George Lopez, and the late, great Robin Williams. ADAM FELSON is a local comic and a member of the Improv Troupe "Withering Scorn". He can be seen at various shows in the Bay Area. JEFF APPLEBAUM made his national TV debut on CBS as a comedian on the “Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” He has also appeared on Comics Unleashed and ComedyTV, Byron Allen’s nationally syndicated Entertainment Studios program, ABC-TV, America’s Got Talent on NBC, and has opened for and performed with comic legends Robert Klein, Mort Sahl, Richard Lewis, Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Kevin Pollak, Elayne Boosler, Jimmy “JJ” Walker, and more. His DryBar Comedy Special was released in 2020, and he’s also a frequent guest on KGO Radio, AM810 in San Francisco, CA.

Torah for Troubled Times
Sunday, Mar 29th 7:00p to 8:15p
Torah and Judaism were made for times just like these. Explore wisdom that has guided people through dark times for millenia. No prior experience required. The Torah is a story of a group of enslaved people who found liberation and endeavored to build a society completely unlike the one they had escaped. From this formed a tradition focused on justice, equity, and freedom from oppression: Judaism! This discussion-based two-part learning series builds on our previous Exodus as Resistance session, though you do not have to have attended that. No prior experience required; all levels will find this meaningful.
