What’s a Purim seuda like in Monsey? Ask the Moriah eighthgrade boys who were lucky enough to be invited to Rabbi E’s Purim seuda! The meal began with a dvar Torah and continued with a fantastic array of food, including a huge hamantaschen challah. Following a second dvar Torah, the boys danced through the dining room. The students were lucky enough to be introduced to Rabbi E’s own rebbe, Rabbi Chaim Schabes, who shared words of chizuk and danced with the boys some more. As the boys danced through the streets on their way to Rabbi Schabes’ house, they had the opportunity to meet Rabbi E’s neighbor who told them his personal interaction with (fellow Jew) Amare Stoudemire. That really captured the boys’ attention! When they returned, dessert was served and one more dance topped off the afternoon before a heartfelt Birkat Hamazon. A special thank you to Mrs. E for preparing all of the delicious food and to Rabbi E’s son, Eli, for his artistry on the keys. What a beautiful and meaningful seuda!
