Purim: “A day for sending gifts to one another”

Age group: 12 - 16

Description:

The following program proposes a revision of the story of Megillat Esther and its relationship to the social mitzvot mishloach manot (sending presents) and matanot la’evyonim (gifts to the poor), based on illustrating traditional ritual objects. The different activities include learning the theoretical aspects of Purim and proposals for putting into practice the social and communal values taught us by the Megillah.
