On March, 19 the Jews of Zaporozhye came to the synagogue where Rabbi Nohum Ehrentreu read the Scroll of Esther after which everyone received the Purim treats and had fun.
This holiday Sunday afternoon Jews gathered in the synagogue to have the festive meal and then in the Palace of Culture the Chabad Lubavitch students showed the history of the Purim salvation of the Jewish people with the contemporary music. After the play everyone got Mishlo'ah Manot and in a few hours everyone proceeded to the synagogue with meals, drinks and creative desserts waiting for them.
The next day the Jewish school saw the funny Purim Spiel. All the children came in costumes. The children were in costumes of Vashti and Esther, Ahasuerus and Haman, clowns, pirates and other children's favourites. This variety of characters emphasized unusual festive atmosphere of Purim. Children played and had fun. The Purim restaurant was especially popular with the guests where one could taste original food.
At the end of the holiday all children received interesting gifts from Rebbetzin Dina Ehrentreu.
Purim 5771 was very funny!
