Women's Megillah Reading - March 2005

The gantze megilla about BSW's women's megilla reading This past Purim, fourteen women from Beth Shalom West and several other synagogues participated in a women's megilla reading at BSW. They
included Shoshana Kagedan, Minda Wershof,Neima Langner, Sarah Beutel, Leah Cohen, Liat Ben Choreen, Golda Feig, NavaLightstone, Noga Reiss, Ruth Fyman, Katherine Moss, Orly Aaron, Ayala Sher, and Ruta Fluxgold.

A hearty Mazel Tov to each of the above-noted readers for undertaking this effort; and for the working as hard as each of them did in learning the 'teamim' (the system of notes) specific to Megillat Esther and then
applying them to their particular perek(chapter).

A special thanks to Golda Feig and Neima Langner for teaching and reviewing all of this material with the participants in this wonderful event; and to Katherine Moss who hosted a Purim Seudah in her home
afterwards for about 50 people (including the megilla readers, the other women who attended the reading, plus several spouses). In all, about 40 women attended the megilla reading. A festive Congregational Kiddush, honouring our megilla readers, was then hosted at BSW on the Shabbat following Purim. The Kiddush was sponsored by their proud husbands and fathers.

And that's the gantze megilla (translation for those who may not know Yiddish: the whole story) about our women's megilla reading.
