JSC March Shabbat/Purim

Topic: The Cleveland Saxtet

Purim is a festival that celebrates the liberation led by a woman named Esther. It is a time for revelry; it’s fitting to embrace the joy of the outcome. So, dress up in brightly colored costumes and use noise makers when you hear the word “Haman” to join in on the raucous fun!

Come prepared to swing out in costume and bring your dancing shoes!

Musicians: Jerry Keller, Mal Barron, and Jon O’Brien make up the talented Cleveland Saxtet, blending jazz standards from the Great American Songbook with dynamic improvisation. Each instrument responds to and interacts with the others, creating a unique and evolving musical conversation. Their playful interplay has earned them the nickname "Mergers and Acquisitions." It promises to be a lively and memorable performance!

Info: The service will be followed by an Oneg Shabbat featuring fruit, veggies, challah, wine, coffee, hamantaschen, and more. The Mandel JCC is a kosher facility and does not allow outside non-kosher food, plates, cups, or serving utensils. Join us from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for a festive evening!
