Dear 6th Grade Parents,
This week we began discussing the holiday of פּוּרִים (Purim). We reviewed the basic story and the cast of characters involved. We also learned some interesting interpretations of the Megilah....like the fact that Mordechai may have been Esther's uncle or her husband. We thought about the sacrifices that Mordechai and Esther both made to save the Jewish people. Along those lines, we spoke about תַּעֲנִית אֶסְתֵּר (Taanit Esther--the Fast of Esther) the fast before Purim which commemorates Esther's three day fast before she met with King Achashverosh to ask him to save the Jewish people.
