KDH Model Seder

KDH prepared for the model seder by first making the Pesach brownies for their desert. We could not use wheat flour. We used potato starch. The brownies smelled yummy as they came out of the oven.

After that was prepared we were ready to turn our attention to charoset, hard boiled eggs, maror, chazeret - lettuce and salt water. 

The children washed, peeled, grated and stirred. 

After all the foods were prepared, it was time to set the beautiful seder table. 

The Ima lit the Yom Tov Nerot and we were ready to begin.

Purim Day in KDH

How is Purim celebrated in IJP?

KDH is sure to do all the mitzvot of the day. 

We came in on Purim Day and after admiring everyone's costumes, we sat down to make mishloach manot men. We decorated a juice box, apple sauce and raisins that could be glued together to make the men. Put these foods together and they can be given as shalach manot. We suggested that the children use them to give to a family member when they got home.                               

Next the entire school gathered together in the third building to listen to Rabbi Schusterman read Megillat Esther and watch a video of the story as it was read.

Later, while the parents were up in the third building, the children set up our classroom for the seudah/feast. When the parents came in, we sat in a large circle together with the parents, and collected matanot l'evyonim, money for the poor that the Rabbi could distribute on Purim day

Next we played a round robin, sending the mishloach manot bags around for everyone to have a chance to give mishloach manot. 

Finally, it was time for our seuda/feast. We served our guests challah rolls, soup, salad. pickles and grape juice that the children had baked and cooked.

HAPPY PURIM to everyone!!!
