Goal: The Chanichim will come to see that happiness is not something that can be bought and not something that you can fake. Simcha isn't about achievement and isn't about being who you're not. Happiness is something that comes from within and sometimes we have to look deep inside to find it.

Ami: There is something I don’t understand about Purim. It’s so different than any other Chag. In all our festivals, we feel the spirituality in the air, mainly because certain secular actions are prohibited. But on Purim – nothing is prohibited. Some people even go to work on Purim. If there is no work prohibition prohibited on Purim – what makes it different than any other day?”

Goal: to teach the chanichim some Purim/Adar games!

Running a Purim Carnival can be a great way to bring the fun—and some of the facts—about Purim home to the kids in your community.
