Women’s Megillah Readings – Purim 2026

Purim is one of our happiest and most fun, holy days. We celebrate the miracles recorded in the biblical Book of Esther, when the Jews of the Persian Empire, led by Queen Esther and Mordechai, were saved from the genocide planned by the demagogic politician, Haman.

This year there are 18 megillah readings by women for women across 16 United Synagogue communities. Women and girls are welcome to attend – please reach out to the community for more information. You can access contact details here. Purim sameach!
