SLIDESHOW: Frozen-Themed Purim Spiel and Costumed Carnival

Temple Beth Am hosted a Purim Spiel Sunday, March 1, followed by a Purim Carnival.

A Purim Spiel is comical Jewish theatrical production, where participants wear costumes that depict the characters in the story in the Book of Esther.

• This year’s theme was Frozen.
  

The role of Anna (Esther) was portrayed by Sarah Rosenthal and Alyssa Berkson portrayed Elsa (Vashti).
