INSTRUCTIONS-

 1. Who am I?!  Tell one chanich to choose one character from the "Megila” , the rest of the chanichim have to figure out who he is by asking yes and no questions.

chanich is chosen to leave the room, while the rest of the group decide what problem they have

- One of the messages for us

To learn from "Megilat Esther" is that g-d has his own plan of how the world runs and that he is behind what goes on. What we see may not be what is truly happening and g-d can change everything in an instant. And we, just like Nachum ish Gamzu should look at everything in a positive way and understand that just like in the story of Purim ,when things looked so bad for the Jewish people  but in the end turned out on the best side ,g-d runs the world and every bad thing can turn out good.

Through out the whole Peula we played games and we pretended to be other people, that is part of what we call on Purim “vnahafoch hu”, which means “backwards” in remembrance of the miracle that from almost being killed we won.
