The Purim Masquerade Ball is a community celebration that builds on the tradition and insight of the Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Society who started the first Purim event in Tucson. Those events helped raise funds for the building of the first synagogue in the Arizona Territory that became the current home for the Tucson Jewish Museum & Holocaust Center.

In addition to that tradition, TJMHC presents the Queen Esther Award for the individual who works to make our community stronger and safer. The 2024 honoree was Sharon Glassberg.

Masks and costumes are encouraged & prizes awarded at this fun community event!

Ticket and sponsorship information available starting in 2025.
