Events of Purima have taken place many centuries ago, but this wonderful holiday accompanies the Jewish people throughout their entire destiny. The horrible threat of prosecution in a combination with unexpected, and sometimes and funny disposal became already traditional for the Jewish people. Preparation for the holiday begins long before this day.
Younger and average group of children's creative center "Shemesh" of Karaganda learned to cook tasty homentashen cookies. “Cheerful workshop” made funny masks and loud bright rattles. And seniors were engaged in preparation of fervent, flashing Purimspiel. Cafe "Emperor" hall was jam-packed. Purim is a holiday of laughter, humour, jokes and smiles and organizers were guided by it.
Before the concert begins all participants of a holiday have done one of the main precepts of Purim – have heard to "Megillat Ester" which was read by the leader of youth Ivan Homjakov. Cheerful incendiary Jewish music performed by Lyudmila Propishchan, whose violin bewitches the listeners followed. Michael Grigoriev has also masterly executed his new compositions. Nobody was left indifferent by the visual quiz devoted to known Jewish women, made by community member Anton Dimin. Ivan Nebesnyj has fascinated again visitors with his songs. And certainly the storm of positive emotions was caused by performance of conjurer Stanislav.
Purimshpiel became the holiday culmination. All has turned over … - the Jewish girl became the queen, the villain expecting awards and honors was punished and executed, and the pursued people celebrate a victory. The children made Purimspiel carefully thinking of the roles.
Drunk, but passionately enamoured Ahashverosh (Denis Rahmatullaev), mild but the imperious queen Ester (Nastya Revenko), proud but benevolent Mordehai, (Ilya Dikanov) and spiteful, nasty Aman (Evgenie Ryabtsev) made visitors laugh to tears. And parade of beauties (Inga Hvitija, Katya Chernova, Katya Belogolovsky and Sofia Revenko) have caused squall of applause. In end of the holiday the lottery took place. Those who have taken part received good prizes. And the holiday ended with an incendiary disco in which have taken part all young and old.
