On Sunday, March 17, Temple Sholom was transformed into a morning of fun and excitement and the facility hosted its annual Purim Carnival. The event had games, prizes, some tasty hamantaschen and fun for people of all ages. New to the annual Purim Carnival this year were the games and activities for middle school aged students and was led by Rabbi Chaya and Rabbinic Intern Kevin Peters. For the younger children there was a toddler/pre-school zone in the Davis Lounge that housed special crafts and activities. According to Chabad.org, the festival of Purim commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia from Haman’s plot to destroy, kill and annihilate all Jews, young and old, infants and women, in a single day, as recorded in the Megillah.
