A Preschool Purim

For 2 months, the children of our preschool have been diligently practicing for their performance in honor of Purim.

 It was held on Shushan Purim, and it truly was amazing thing to be part of. 

It was hard to believe that this was taking place in the Former Soviet Union. In fact, many of the parents don't know anything about Judaism, and their children are eagerly teaching them. 

 The children were so excited to be there, celebrating the holiday. 

The looks on their faces as they proudly sang, danced and played to the theme of Purim was just precious. 

The parents were, of course, super proud of their children. 

They even got involved and played their own game, with the kids cheering them on. 

  

 All in all, it was a huge success, and parents and children alike are looking forward to the next performance. 

It's Purim Today!

Presenting:

And everyone in between

It was a beautiful collaboration between all the Jewish organizations in the city.

Our guest from England via New Jersey did a professional express reading of the Megillah.

And everyone agreed that it was the best Purim they experienced yet!

Purim excitement is in the air. . .

Chernigov is gearing up for the most exciting Purim party this city has ever seen!

Challah with Soul

Olga with her own freshly baked challah

Olga came over today to bake challah with me.

It was the first time ever making Challah, and she was really inspired. She made the blessing on taking the Challah, and, as I told her that it was a special time for women to pray, she prayed with total concentration.

While we waited for our Challahs to bake, she spent her time surfing online searching for a Jewish name. She is waiting for 'her soul to choose its name', and also, the name needs to pass approval from her (8 year old) daughter. ;-)
