Purim Season!

Purim season is in full swing!  The incredible Morah Gitty is putting together a picture Megillah for everyone to take home, featuring our Green Room friends acting out the story.  Morah Gitty has the "official" photos, but please take a look at these awesome "outtakes" so far.

Here we see King Achashverosh at his feast.  Morgan and Mason played the guards!


The king must select a new queen!


Mordechai overhears the guards talking!

A conversation between King Achashverosh and Queen Esther!

One of the best parts about Purim is having a gragger to shake when "Haman" is mentioned.  The Green Room fiends LOVED making them!  Here is a visual of the tray each friend got to use. 




A couple of the kids noticed that there were glass cups provided.  When they asked if it was real glass I said "Yes, because I trust you and I know you'll be careful."  I learned about allowing kids to use "real" things, such as glass cups, this at a recent workshop.  Kids live up to the expectations we have of them.  When I told them that I knew that they'd be careful and that I trusted them, in turn they were careful and trusted themselves.




We look forward to continuing the build up to one of our favorite holidays over the next 2 weeks!


Morah Gitty and I hope you enjoy your long weekend.  We'll see you back at CJP on Tuesday.  Shabbat Shalom!
