This week Shorashim continued our Purim explorations with more reading of the “megillah,” singing songs with our puppets…
…castle building…
…and sharing “hamantaschen” with our friends.
We also did some new Purim explorations! We made מסכות (masechot – masks) …
…and of course some groggers! We decorated plates, filled them with beans, stapled them shut, and made some great רעש (ra’ash – noise)!
We practiced making רעש (ra’ash – noise) each time we heard Haman’s name by playing a game with the characters’ names. We also experimented with how much רעש (ra’ash – noise) we could make by taking our groggers to different rooms in the Beit Knesset such as the sanctuary…
…chapel…
…social hall…
…and of course, Beit Shorashim! We had so much fun makingרעש (ra’ash – noise)! Now that we’ve learned so many different ways people celebrate Purim, we’re ready for the real Purim celebration next week in our costumes!
