Purim 2009: Pajama Party!

Click to enlarge

We had a wonderful time at our 2009 Purim Pajama Party. King Ahashverosh and Queen Esther dozed on the low walls surrounding the reader's table. Young and old could enjoy milk and cookies before bedtime. There were adult libations with pomegranate providing an Israeli twist, crafts for the children, musical interludes from Rabbi Shalva, and -- of course -- the megillah reading, complete with projected words and cartoons! Todah rabah to Shelly Palley for the decorations, to Mark Weber for operating the laptop and projecting the words and to Susan Coren for the photography.
