About the cover:
Members of Malka Littman's Hillel Day School fifth-grade class read
from the Scroll of Esther with special instructor Aviva Silverman in
preparation for a school-wide Purim presentation. The pictured students
include, from left: Emily Eisenberg, Tomer Fried, Lisa Yoskowitz, David
Silberman, Hannah Lewis and Jill Salama. The students are standing in
front of a class bulletin board with Hebrew words from the megillah. The
translation is: "The Jews had light and gladness and joy and honor."
