Upcoming Programs

The Shaare Zion Sisterhood continues our unique Purim fund-raising event to support the Auberge – the Megillah Read-A-Thon.As the only kosher and shomer Shabbat domestic violence shelter in all of Canada, Auberge Shalom has provided exemplary support to Montreal women in need for three decades. Sadly, the pandemic has increased the incidence of violence against women and stretched resources.
Twelve congregants will each read a portion of the Megillah Esther, on Zoom, on Shushan Purim, February 28. Each reader is sponsored by personal donors, much like the sponsorship for a Walk-a-Thon.
The Megillah Read-A-Thon 2021 goal is $6,000. Two-thirds will go to Auberge Shalom to support the 2021-22 program of Shabbat meals and celebration of Jewish life and holidays that are so crucial to the identity of the Auberge. One-third will stay with Sisterhood to support synagogue projects. In 2020, the Shaare Zion portion helped purchase a sukkah for the shul.

Costumes not required, but fun masks will set the tone.
Purim Sameach to all!
