A Purim Thank You!

And there was Light and Joy and Gladness and Honour for the Jews – Esther 8:16

Just as in the Purim story itself, know that the joy that we experienced this year, is due to the hard work of a few, who made the joy possible for so many.

This year we celebrated a Purim Carnival, Teen Purim, Purim with Mondays at the Temple, had a Family Megillah Reading and Potluck Dinner, and ended it all with Adult Purim.

Thanking everyone involved would create a ridiculously long list… but this IS Purim we are thanking for, so ridiculous is a good thing:
