Dear grade 2 parents,

We had a really fun week of Hebrew School this week, in the Purim spirit!

We learned about the story and mitzvot of Purim by making puppets of the characters in the story and making a puppet show.

We also made mishloach manot with some delicious treats!

We ended off with a Purim party where we learned more about the story, played games and had hamentashen!

Looking forward to next week!

Why do we have hamentashen on Purim?

The triangle shape reminds us of Haman's hat

Achashverosh was king of how many provinces?

127

What is the Purim Seuda?

A big meal with lots of people

Why do we dress up?

To remember the way Esther hid her identity
