Students at SINAI@YCQ got into the Purim spirit this year, joining Yeshiva of Central Queens students at their annual carnival. Junior high boys did their own holiday event planning: holding a carnival for their fellow SINAI elementary school students!

On Friday, the seventh-grade girls had the exciting opportunity of going to the WH ECC to run the Purim Carnival. The seventh-grade girls were randomly selected to run carnival booths. The booths consisted of face-painting, building blocks, sand surprise, matching games, and pin the crown on Queen Esther.

The fifth grade at Be’er Hagolah Institutes was busy learning all the 39 M’lachos of Shabbos. Morah Gelbfish brought the curriculum alive by bringing to school a life-size loom for the girls to get the real hands-on experience and practical understanding of the laws.

HALB students and staff celebrated Purim together, both in and out of school! Students visited their teachers on Purim Day and then spent Shushan Purim enjoying the school carnival together.
