It's also our monthly CDP Theme Day and City Daily Photo bloggers are busy interpreting the idea "play."
I'm going to try to link the two by using PLAY as a noun.
Purim Spiel is the Yiddish term for the boisterous plays, sometimes even mini-musicals, that are thought up and put on every Purim.
So Spiel, pronounced shpeel, means a play and in Europe Jews have been keeping this Purim custom for centuries.
In Meitar this afternoon the Scouts put on a whole carnival. (More about that later.)
On stage was Tooti the Superhero.
Instead of Esther saving her people from wicked Haman, we had Tooti, a woman with super powers, saving humanity from some kind of alien invasion (or something ...).
Here's a tiny video so you can hear as well as see our modern little Purim Spiel:

UPDATE: Here are nine life lessons we can learn from the Purim story of the Bible.

Happy Purim!
A happy Purim to you! Good take on the theme, Dina!
I came out of the house last night, past the shule in the street behind, and came across 23945780234957219580982 children in fancy dress costumes for Purim :)
Chag sameach
We celebrate : ) Chag sameach
Great for theme day
...Dina, thanks for information about Purim.
It works well for the theme Dina. The video was fun to watch.. happy belated Purim ✨
P.s. rest assured the sculptures only stay on the beach for a couple of weeks ☺
Happy Purim, Dina. Tooti looks a bit like Wonder Woman. Of course Gal Gadot is Israeli, isn't she?
