Page Twelve THE JEWISH NEWS Congregational Activities Beth El Pupils Enjoy Selves at 4 Purim Parties Colorful Celebrations Held Saturday and Sunday by All Sectiohs Four Purim parties were held by the various sections of the Temple Beth El Religious School last Saturday and Sunday. The Junior high school cele- bration was featured by a lunch- eon Saturday, which followed the presentation of the Purim play "Mordecai's Cousin," by Abelson. Movies were shown and skits were presented by the individual classes. On Sunday morning the inter- mediate department held a party and program presented by the various classes, after seeing the traditional Purim play, "Evelyn Dreams of Purim," by Joseph Leiser. Meeting in the Men's Club Room, the high school students participated in the reading of the Megillah after which records were played to the accompani- ment of the munching on Haman- taschen. The most colorful celebration was in the afternoon, when the children of the Primary depart- ment assembled in their multi- colored costumes for the annual masquerade. Purim songs, a play, movies, a talk by Bob Hall and a costume parade as well as ice cream cones and Hamantaschen helped to make this celebration enjoyable for the youngsters. The class with the most chil- dren in costumes were the kin- dergarten grades of which Mrs. Louis Panush and Mrs. Lee Alexander are the teachers. Their prize was a picture taken of the entire class.

I say this in full recogni- tion of the many other consuming labors which confront us in the embattled household of Israel; the rescuing of our perishing brethren from their many houses of bondage, the upbuilding of Zion and the reconstruction of our Jewish life in so many re- gions of the earth. But above all, it must be remembered that it is 'by the spirit' that Israel shall prevail."
