This year, Purim falls on the evening of March 6 through the evening of March 7.

Huntsville’s got three different Purim celebrations this year on March 5, 6 and 7, so you can fill up on plenty of hamantaschen. Here’s where.

1. Purim Pizza, Potluck, Pinot and Punch with Temple B’nai Sholom

This celebration sounds like a ton of fun to me (partly because I love alliteration). This evening is going to be lots of fun, with a Purim Spiel (play), music, pizza, a costume contest and, of course, hamantaschen.

Location: 103 Lincoln St SE, Huntsville, AL 35801
Date: Sunday, March 5, 5:30PM
