Getting Ready for the Purim Festival

For a good festival you need the right decorations, gifts, costumes, a lot of noise, and, of course, food. 

The bulletin boards:

Groggers, masks, and the mishloach manot baskets:

 

 

An Easy Hamantashen Recipe:

4 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup oil

3 eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix everything together in a large bowl.

Knead well before rolling out.

Roll dough out thinly on floured surface.

Cut out circles using a glass.

Put poppy seeds, fruit filling, or chocolate chips in the center of circle.

Pinch edges together firmly to form a triangle.

Bake until light brown – approximately 15-20 minutes.

Make about 3 dozen.

Songs:  

Purim day, Purim day.

What a happy holiday. 


Wear a mask, wear a crown.

Dancing all around. 


Round go the groggers, rash, rash, rash! (3x) 


On Purim day! Purim Song: (Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

If you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet (stomp twice)

If you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet (stomp twice) If you hear the name of Haman, if you hear the name of Haman, if you hear the name of Haman stomp your feet (stomp feet twice)

If you hear the name of Esther clap your hands......

If you hear the name of Ahasuerus turn around.....

If you hear the name of Mordecai shout hooray....

 

P-U-R-I-M

THERE IS A HOLIDAY I LOVE

AND PURIM IS ITS NAME-O.

P-U-R-I-M  X3

AND PURIM IS ITS NAME-O.

 

Hamantashen Song (tune: Clementine)

Roll the dough out,

Make some circles,

Put the jelly right inside.

Pinch together three little corners,

Eat hamantashen,

Open wide! 

Happy Purim!
