Purim Spiel, Megillah, and Shabbat Services

  • Congregation Mishkan Israel 785 Ridge Road Hamden, CT, 06517 United States (map)

With your CMI family come celebrate Purim
We can’t guarantee much but it sure won’t be borin’

We’ll sing lots of songs wear some hats and be silly
Yay Esther we’ll cheer and send Hamen to the hilly

Dress up if you like, no pressure there
Rumor has it Rabbi Immerman will be in blue hair

We’ll invite the children for a fun Purim parade
The OY Street Band and Jr. Choir will serenade

In the original Hebrew the Megillah we’ll chant
And spin our greggors to drown out the miscreant

A Seuss-tastic night we’ll have one and all
This year’s spiel will surely be a ball


Join us for a night of silliness in rhyme for a Dr. Seuss themed Purim Spiel for all Ages.

Following the spiel adults 21+ are invited to stay later for a BYOB party on patio with food and drinks. We request those attending to make a $5 per person donation to help cover the cost of pizza.


Brief Shabbat Services begin at 6:00pm, with mi shebeirach and mourner’s kaddish. The Spiel will begin immediately afterward.

The Zoom  is password protected - contact Rabbi Immerman or check out your CMI news for the password. If you don’t know the password - participate via the live-stream  

We will have the words to the service on the screen, but you can also follow along in our prayer book. You can use the free online Mishkan t'fihlah   or purchase a physical or kindle version of our prayer book.    

If you wish to add additional names to the mi shebeirach or kaddish list, please email Sarah Legassey  by 12pm on Friday.
