Caricature Cutouts
Kids, head's up!
Today's cover provides cutout images of three of
Purim's main characters: clockwise from top left, Queen
Esther, Mordechai and Haman. They're meant to be cut
out and used as holiday masks.
"I just wanted to provide some fun ideas for Purim
masks that kids could actually use," said Debbie Schultz,
creative director for the Jewish News.
"The masks reinforce the various ways the Jewish
News strives to be part of Detroit Jewish life each and
every Friday," added Editor Robert A. Sklar.
