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 Fun at Temple Kol Ami

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 .
