Kitah Bet

Happy Purim! Purim is actually on Wednesday evening and there will be lots of fun, noise and food in no particular order!

We had a very busy day on Sunday!

We sang Purim songs particularly about the four mitzvot of Purim. We read Megilat Esther, eat a seudah,meal, (what else is new), give to the poor, and send gift baskets. See if your children remember some of the Purim songs.

We attended Hebrew through movement and practiced"Lehareesh Rashan" so we can do so when we hear Haman's name during the Megila reading.

We made masks in a fun project led by Amalie and Jack. Todah rabbah for all you do to make our classroom a place of fun and learning!

We put on the Purim play. The reason we celebrate this holiday is because there was a plot to kill the Jews and a brave woman, Esther was the main champion who stopped the massacre. As we read the play we also saw how brave her relative Mordechai was as well.

We then returned to sanctuary and heard some of the Megila being read, as well as getting a preview of the Purim Shpeil that will be performed in full on Wednesday. One of the wonderful things about Purim is that we are commanded to have fun and so we do.

Todah rabba to Morah Betsy and all the adults and madrichim who helped her prepare a great Purim carnival.

Back to work next week but we will make it fun.

Shavuah Tov,

Morah Devorah
