With Passover Coming...Time to Post Purim Photos

I can't believe I never posted these photos - time just slips away.

It's hard to explain how much Purim is celebrated in Israel, but the whole city stops and has a really big party. Plus, since the children are out of school for a few days as well, there are a lot of school-aged Purim parties and synagogue Purim parties for kids. In Jerusalem, since it is a walled city, Purim is celebrated the day after everyone else celebrates it, which mostly means two days of kid-related Purim parties. Silvie was so excited that she refused to tell anyone what she was going to be for Purim!

And what do Purim parties mean to our girls? More chances to wear costumes and have fun!

Here they are:
