Yesterday was Purim, the festival of lots! Students have been learning about Purim and how good overcame bad and the Jewish people were saved. We learned about staying focused, making sure we choose our friends wisely, and the four mitzvot (good deeds) of Purim: to give to the poor, to give a treat bag to at least one person to increase their joy for the holiday, to hear Megillas Esther (the book of Esther), and have a Seudat (festive meal). Students enjoyed Hamentashen (Purim cookies) at lunch and received treat bags after the Frozen-themed Purim Spiel in the afternoon. Purim Sameach...Happy Purim from Ratner!

A Frozen Purim

"Be like Olaf and always give a helping hand,

Just like Esther--have a plan!

Amidst the snow and cold, you’ll always find

A friend at Ratner, one who is kind!

A friend who will stand up for what is right,

We won’t be like Haman nor cause a fight!

Look for the beauty among the cold,

A rainbow of colors will illuminate from your heart of gold!"
