The walls of the Jewish Educational Center reverberated to the sounds of singing and dancing as the RTMA division celebrated at its Shushan Purim mesiba.

Following davening, students and rebbeim enjoyed a delicious breakfast together that was enhanced by a dvar Torah by Rabbi Michael Parnes and a series of interactive games and costume competitions led by Director of Student Life Rabbi Yisroel Rich.

The popular Jewish singing sensation Nachas made a surprise appearance, much to the delight of students and faculty alike, and, accompanied by popular musician Sruly, performed an elaborate set that included Purim favorites and current popular hits. Students and rebbeim, linked arm in arm, were inspired to dance and sing together with passion and enthusiasm.

“It was an opportunity for everyone to come together,” said RTMA Principal Rabbi Ami Neuman, “to unite and dance as a family.”
