hey followed the "Hamantash Road" on their way to cele-
brating the victory of Mordecai, Esther and the Jews over
the evil Haman.
Children in grades K-8 in Congregation B'nai Moshe's
religious school packed the house for a single performance of their
Purimspiel — "Follow The Hamantash Road" — last week. They
incorporated the story of Haman's downfall into songs from The
Wizard of Oz
The play was written and produced by Rita Abramson, the head
of the shul's religious school.
