                                        Kesher/B'nei Mitzvah Korner

On Monday night the kids came together for fun and festivities to celebrate Purim. We were greeted with live music from Moshe and then made rashanim (graggers),  decorated masks and mishloach manot with Purim messages which we gave to others. We had a lovely dinner, and the kids did an awesome job with their Purim shpiel. We had a fun and festive costume parade and some of the kids stayed to hear Megillah. A huge thanks to Toby, Aiden, Dalia, Moshe, Rabbi Yonatan and the wonderful Kehilat Nitzan staff for decorating, planning and running activities.
