Purim is a joyous holiday at B'nai Zion with opportunities for joining the festivities for children and adults.
There is an annual Purim Carnival, sponsored by The Northwest Louisiana Jewish Federation, which is held at B'nai Zion. There are games, prizes, music, Purim schpiels, and food each year. Photos from previous year celebrations can be seen by clicking the Purim Picture photo gallery links below.
Rabbi Jana also has an annual Purim Shabbat service held on the Friday evening closest to Purim. Purim Services from previous years and the awesome Purim Schpiels can be seen on the B'nai Zion YouTube channel.
