OUR MOST CHEERFUL HOLIDAY

The perfect time began, when rings thaw, the smiles in love blossom. And we recollect about perfect Ester, which 2500 years ago, in the Persian Empire, rescued the Jewish people. Time, when it is possible to meet the strict teacher in a mask of Barmaley, and cheerful guy, in a costume of the butterfly, the cheerful holiday is titled Purim!

Our wise men say that with approach of Adar the fun increases. In Purim execute four basic commandments: listen to reading of Scroll of Ester, make gifts to needy people, send each other fare and arrange celebratory meal.

Cheerful boys have turned to the two-meter bride - candidate for a vacant role of the empress in "casting" arranged specially to calm king in his "inconsolable grief ", overtaken after insult put by empress Vashti. And herself Vashti, perfectly played by Maxim Smerichinsky, was incomparable - pretty girl moreover and sportswoman with the hugest size of footwear. But better than all there was king Ahashverosh, "very strict and beautiful" together with perfect Ester.

The young actors subdued the spectators not only by magnificent play, but also wonderful romantic dance performed by "star pair" Artem Krenev and Yaroslava Gvozdevskaya.

The guests liked dances of group "Tamir", in statement of Maria Koroleva. They were wonderfully executed by Lydia Dobrynina and Maxim Smerichinsky, and Vladimir Evsukov. To many participants of a holiday remembered the play of smallest participant of statement - Arina Kou and east dances in her performance.

For children the coordinator of the children's programs conducted cheerful games - competitions. Have not forgotten and to congratulate the visitors, born on the eve of a holiday Purim. The especially gentle words were told to our dear mums and grandmothers - you see absolutely recently holiday of March 8 passed.
