Most cheerful and bright, very much favourite by children holiday Purim again collected the Jewish community of Petropavlovsk. For the first time we have decided to meet it at school of national revival #17 and have invited not only Jewish community, but also children and teachers of all branches of this school. Children and adults prepared beforehand, and have brought with itself on a holiday of a mask, costumes and good mood. Conducted a holiday the teacher of the Jewish branch of school Olga Krasheninnikova. Helped her the coordinator of the children's programs Svetlana Voevutko, the musical chiefs Tatiana Falaleeva and Gennady Plotnikov, choreographer Victoria Tikhonkova, whose pupils for the first time on a holiday have presented the Jewish dance. Scroll of Ester read the coordinator of the program "History and Traditions" Svetlana Tretyak.

After the concert program (children's vocal group "Barvazon", "Hatikhot", soloist Ivan Usatov, group "Shalom") - with children carried out "Purim Olympiad"  - some mobile games: "Dress on a hat on Akhashverosh", "who forward will treat king", "who faster will eat homentashes". The parents, grandparents amicably and loudly supported the players. With prizes were awarded both winners and loosed.

And in the meantime in foyer group of volunteers, armed with aprons and knifes with planks, prepared a feast from fruit, juices, homentashes. These were Luba Levkovitch, Luba Odinarkina, Olga Bonina, Valya Ivanova, Klara Pilzak.

And at the end everyone were invited "to feast to reign Akhashverosh and empress Ester".

We think, this holiday will for a long time be remembered by everyone, who on it was present, and is especial the one who has appeared for the first time.

And ahead - the most important holiday Pesakh, time is not enough, but it is necessary to have time to it to be prepared.
