........well i am certainly going to try. Out of my love for Jewish things, including history, i have decided to have a "Feast of Purim." Purim is celebrating in Jewish tradition to represent God's(by means of Queen Esther and Mordicai) deliverance of the Jews from the evil Hamen, found in the book of Esther. It is a gathering where children dress up as queen Esther, Mordicai or Hamen. They come to hear the story of Esther and when the name of Hamen is mentioned they use groggers (noise makers) to blot out his name when it is read. The other big part of the festival is to drink into the oblivion (but we are going to leave that part out).
We will see how it goes........Purim is tuesday, march 10th.
We will be making groggers(noise makers) and will give out candy and have light snacks. It is just an educational time to experience with families.
