Tous Ensemble, En Chemin Avec Jesus
Purim, Jewish Festival of Joy
The Joyous Spring Festival of Purim
The children listened to the story of how brave Queen Esther trusted God and helped to save the Jewish people from the wicked plot of Haman. We made graggers (shakers) and had lots of fun creating noise with the percussion instruments too! We joined in with 'The Hamamtaschen Chant' and all took a copy of the song home.
We made triangular Hamantaschen to take home to eat. Hamantaschen remind Jewish people of the hat Haman wore when he was arrested, this was the time that Purim became an annual festival of fun and joy.
