This week we started our Purim unit! All of our students started learning about the story, mitzvot, and traditions of Purim. The Garinim and 1st graders started coloring the Purim characters to make stick puppets, and the 2nd and 3rd graders turned a corner of the room into Shushan and made Debla, a delicious Sephardic dessert for Purim!

We also sang lots of songs for Purim, including our very fun Nahafochu song (based on the Hebrew phrase וְנַהֲפ֣וֹךְ ה֔וּא from Megillat Esther, which describes how Haman's plan for the Jews was flipped and the opposite happened, with Haman as the victim instead. Plus, some of our Bogrim volunteered to help lead our Torah service during Ma'agal on Thursday!
