Special Sunday School for Purim at the NCJCC

Special Sunday School time for Purim! We will celebrate Purim by wearing costumes and helping the Sisterhood deliver hamantaschen at the temple, to raise money for charity. Lunch of bagels and fruit will be provided, and the kids will have time to play as well before our special musical guest performance at 2pm.

There are four important mitzvot or commandments associated with Purim – and they’re all related to taking care of one another. That’s right, this awesome holiday full of dress up fun and merriment is also about helping our friends, neighbors, and community.

We will focus on the second mitzvah: mishloach manot—sending gifts. Gifts of food to friends and colleagues ensure that everyone has the means to be happy, further foiling Haman’s (the villain of the Purim story) plans. (The other mitzvot of Purim are: listening to the story of Queen Esther, giving to the needy, and having a feast.) Thanks to PJ Library for this info about Purim and mishloach manot!
