Excitement is in the air as our children are preparing for Purim. It is a most festive time which leads us to lots of fun in the classroom. Puppetry, costume making, noisemakers and dramatic play are very much a part of the creative expression that our young people thrive on. Depending n their moods they may choose to be the beautiful, heroic Queen Esther or the wicked Haman. Aromas of delicious child made Hamentaschen fill the air. Baskets of Mishloach Manot (Purim Treats) were lovingly prepared to share with family and friends.

On Wednesday, March 7^th the Purim Festivities begin with the Nursery School staff along with Rabbi Kaplan , Cantor Zeitlin and David Woolfe will present our annual play at 6:30 in the sanctuary. All are invited to attend and wear festive costumes. Refreshments will follow - Don't forget your groggers!
