As has now become the tradition for the past three years, Kemp Mill
Synagogue and Young Israel Shomrai Emunah have come together to create a
joint Purim carnival that helped to heighten the
achdus within
our community. Alternating hosting each year, this year’s festivities
brought roughly 250 people to KMS from all over the community. The range
of activities included three large inflatables (pirate ship, moon
bounce, and a velcro wall), a variety of carnival games (including but
not limited to ring toss, skeeball, high striker, and much more), and
face painting. For the younger children, there was also a Purim
storyteller, and a Purim sing-along. Children of all ages were thrilled
to be able to go to the Purim costume dress-up booth to find clothing
that took them back to the days of Shushan!
In addition to the wonderful fun games and activities, children also had the opportunity to take part in a wide array of
tzedakah (philanthropic) projects benefitting local and Israeli organizations. All of the
tzedakah
projects and carnival festivities were run by teens from local shuls
and schools. Countless families expressed how wonderful it was to see
children from several schools and families from different shuls come
together to celebrate the holiday.
