In the week or two leading up to Purim, we were busy "behind the scenes."
What's Purim without Hamentashen? (Spell check really doesn't like that word. It offered "harassment" as an alternative. In a way, that would almost fit in that last sentence).
Anyway, Marla and some of the residents got busy and baked over 120 Harassments...uh, Hamentashen.
Marla also led residents in making decorations, while Sarah supervised the putting together of Shalach Manos packages. It is a Purim mitzvah to give gifts of food to others. All residents got a package and were encouraged to give it away.
And the...The party!
