Kindergarten: Time for Purim Masks!

This past week we continued to learn about Purim and performed a series of skits where we acted out the story of Purim. We talked about how important it is to stand up for what you believe in even if it is hard. Then we made our own masks! (Elie’s Class)

(Raya’s Class)
Last Saturday we concluded our study of Purim by creating mishloach manot baskets in the shape of hamantaschen. We also made Purim masks and acted out our favorite characters from the story.

  • Why do we eat hamantaschen?
    Why do we give mishloach manot?
    Who saved the Jews?

K-2 Family Program

This week we explored kesher/connection between Jews around the world and had fun learning about interesting Purim and Passover traditions! Check out adults’ learning here and here for Passover traditions and children’s learning here.
