Shabbat Parshat Zachor: We add a brief additional Torah portion relaying the Mitzvah of Mechiyas Amalek - Remembering to wipe out Amalek. This is considered one of the only biblically mandated Torah readings of the year, and so we encourage all to make special effort to attend. There will be an additional reading at the conclusion of the 9am davening (approximately 11:30AM) for those who miss it earlier.

PURIM AT SOI: For the full Purim schedule, see below or go to our designated Purim page on the SOI website - www.SOICherryHill.org/Purim.
Two important additional notes for Motzei Shabbat/Purim night:
(1) Maariv is scheduled for about 30 minutes after Shabbat ends to allow for Purim preparations between Shabbat and Megillah reading. Megillot, costumes, and anything else being used specifically for Purim should not be handled while it is still Shabbat. When Shabbat is over (after 7:57PM), everyone should make their own Havdallah at home to end Shabbat and then prepare to come to Shul for Maariv and Megillah reading.
(2) To assist everyone in fulfilling the Mitzvah of hearing the Megillah, SOI will provide babysitting during the first nighttime Megillah reading for children ages 2 and up. If you would like to be at the first Megillah reading and require childcare to do so or if your child finds it difficult to remain quiet for the entire reading, please consider utilizing this service.
