Happy (belated) Purim! Purim is really a fun holiday, one where we can be festive and celebrate, and not be too somber, Plus, getting to celebrate it at school/work is extra filling in the hamantashen.
Friday, we celebrated at school, since Purim itself was Sunday this year. We started the day with a whole school t'fillah and read excerpts from the megillah. The Hebrew department put on a lovely rendition of Swan Lake and the rest of the day we simply celebrated! The kids had great costumes and it is just a fun day to "let our hair down" and revel in the happiness.
Of course, I couldn't let a Purim season go by without making a batch of hamantashen. I have such fond memories from making them as a kid and well, it's still fun at 26.
Saturday night, there was a great megillah reading and shpeil (funny play) at shul. And of course lots of noshing on hamantashen (-:
Sunday, actual Purim day, I went to Morry and Rachel's for a Purim feast, one of the laws of Purim. Lots of eating was done and Morry did a hilarious PPT (pixelated purim torah) presentation which was a hilarious explanation of the holiday - lots of laughing - the main goal of the holiday!
And now - the countdown to Pesach...(too soon?)
