Purim in Tel Aviv

If you’ve never spent Purim in Tel Aviv, you aren’t ready.  Everyone is in costume: the bus driver, the barista, the CEO. 

The energy is frantic, loud, and incredible for several days in a row. It’s the one time of year this city completely loses its mind in the best possible way.

Purim Events

The 126 Vibe

At 126, we bridge the gap. We do the tradition right (loud singing, megillah readings, tzedakah collections), and then we party harder than anyone else. Whether you are looking for a massive rave, a family lunch, or just a place to hear the megillah with a great atmosphere, this is home base.

Here’s what we have lined up for Purim 2026:

We’ll start with the main Megillah reading in Shul. Expect it to be packed with 500+ people —both the main shul and the gallery will be full, loud, and full of energy.

After that – Immediately after the reading, we head upstairs for the after-party.

Women’s Megillah Reading

We run two dedicated women’s readings on Purim night. We know schedules are tight, so we do them back-to-back with a 30-minute break in between. It’s a focused environment — perfect if you want to hear every word clearly. Come for the reading, then head upstairs to join the party.

Purim isn’t just about the parties. It’s about community. Every year, a group from 126 heads to Ichilov Hospital to hand out Mishloach Manot (gift baskets) to patients and staff. It’s a chance to bring some of that insane Purim energy to people who really need it.

We meet directly at the hospital. Bring great costumes and good vibes.

There will be a Megillah reading taking place at the end of the volunteering at 12:00 in the main lobby of the new building, next to the piano.

Purim is about looking out for each other. We make it easy to tick off the mitzvot of tzedakah while you're here.

Machatzit Hashekel (Half Shekel)

You can give in person on Purim night during the Megillah reading, or anytime on Purim day from Shacharit until Mincha.

Matanot L'evyonim (Gifts to the Poor)

We collect funds to distribute to those who need help celebrating.
In Person: Drop cash in the box on Purim night (during the reading) or on Purim day during Shacharit.
Online: Can't make it with cash? Use the link below and we’ll handle the distribution for you on the day.
