Experiential Judaism is one of Temple Kol Ami’s core religious school missions,
and its annual Purim Carnival was another huge success. As much fun as it for
the younger kids to attend, it’s just as much fun for the West Bloomfield syna-
gogue’s teenagers to organize and work the event. It was yet another great day
at Temple for both age groups, with many wonderful memories created.

Purim is always a joyous holi-
day of rejoicing and exchanging
food. This year was also the first
opportunity that members of
JARC’s Board of Directors had
to visit with the people JARC
serves inside their homes since
the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Participating board members
were assigned to JARC homes
to package and deliver gifts for

the people living there. It was
particularly nice to those people
that joined the Board since the
COVID-19 restrictions began to
join in the fun.
The packages included snacks
and fruit, socks and other small
gifts. All participants were
thrilled to finally be able to
interact in person in a COVID-
safe way .
