At our February class, the kids came all dressed up and in high spirits to learn about the brave Esther and how she saved her people. Rabbi Tom was there too and we got to look at a real 'megillah' - the scroll we read from at Purim.
We had an animated reading the megillah Sunday Funday style as the purim parade moved around the room with music and dance, making lots of noise and most importantly listening to the story of Queen Esther and how she became queen and uncovered a plot that would change our destiny, Mordechai, Esthers uncle who guided her during her reign and who instituted the celebration of this holiday , the king of Persia who made Esther his new queen and Haman the kings advisor who made a plan to destroy the jewish people. After which the kids were hard at work making paper puppets of the main characters of the story and decorating their crowns.
