Temple Sinai improves on annual Purim carnival

/TEMPLE SINAI

On March 1, Temple Sinai’s Youth Group (CRAFTY) hosted its new-and-improved Purim carnival. The goal this year was to change the community’s perception of what a Purim carnival is. In the planning stages, the youth participants, alongside parent volunteers, brainstormed new games and prizes that would make this year’s carnival unforgettable. Traditional games, such as “Temple Sinai Jail” and “Fishing,” brought smiles and laughter. However, the new games, such as “Eating the Donut Off the String” and “Casting Lots,”  really entertained the families that attended the event.

 For the first time, the Temple Sinai Purim Carnival added an aspect of tzedakah. CRAFTY collected jars of peanut butter for donation to the weekly “Sandwiches at Sinai.” The jars were used to make sandwiches to donate to men at Harrington Hall. All together, CRAFTY collected 32 pounds of peanut butter.

Everyone in the community helped make this year’s carnival a success with support, participation and donations, including the Temple Sinai Youth Committee, Temple Sinai Sisterhood and Membership Committees, and the Board of Trustees.
