Shaindy Simcha, 9, of Oak
Park, was so sure the parade
would be a success, she
didn't want to miss a
minute. She hopped onto the
side of a satin-smooth, mid-
night-black automobile and
rode in the procession.
"I read in the newspaper
that the parade was being
done by Paul Kohn, so I just
knew it had to be great,"
this fourth-grader said.
"Last year he had a fire
truck and horse and buggy
and gave all the neighbor-
hood kids rides."
Paul Kohn can't help
himself. He admits, when it
comes to a holiday like
Purim, "the sky is the
limit."
"I feel that Purim should
be a holiday observed like all
others — with fervor, en-
thusiasm and serious obser-
vance," he said.
Purim celebrates the
deliverance of the Jews of
ancient Persia from almost
certain genocide. Since the
Jews were victorious over
their enemies, the day has
become one of great joy,
where adults and children
dress in costume, listen to
the megillah, the Purim
story, make shalach manot,
food baskets for family and
friends, and give charity to
the poor.
"Purim celebrates univer-
sal things for everybody,"
Mr. Kohn said. "I take it
very seriously, even though
you're supposed to have
fun."
A couple of years ago, Mr.
Kohn dressed up as a
LepraKohn, handing out
gold coins. The next year,
Mr. Kohn was Paul Revere,
warning the people of
Shushan, the ancient Per-
sian capital.
"Every year, it has
escalated," he said. "This
year we wanted to do some-
thing for the whole commun-
ity. My hope is that next
year, the parade will get
sponsored by a local organ-
ization and become an an-
nual event for the commun-
ity."
The children in the com-
munity certainly hope so.
Chaim "Cool Guy" Zeiler,
6, would be there. So would
Squaw ladies Dobi Simcha,
19, and Rivka Loketch, 19.
So might Katresa Rolfe,
16, of Hamtramck, who was
part of the Kettering High
School band that marched in
front of the dancing
Chasidim.
"They explained to us
about this Purim holiday,"
Katresa said, "and it's the
most fun I've had in a long
time." 111
