Volunteer Purimshpiel

Volunteers put on a vocal and theatrical production for the Purim holiday.

The preparation and staging of Purimshpiel took a lot of time, but it was worth it. In this difficult time for Ukraine, it was very important to make Purimshpiel, because over the past three years, many trials have befallen people: two years of quarantine and the war have made their own adjustments to life.

Volunteer actors and participants of the vocal-theatrical studio "Aviv" had many doubts if they should even make Purimspiel or not. But thanks to the great desire of the volunteers, their inspiration, love for acting and vocals, they managed to do it. Each of them, after a hard day, tired, but with burning fire in their eyes, ran to rehearsals three times a week for a month. The rehearsals were very noisy and fun. People were so tired of the news about the war and constant stress that these hours of rehearsals were like a fresh sip of life, a sip of something new, so long-awaited.

The opening day of the Purimshpielproduction exceeded all expectations. The hall simply shuddered with laughter, pleasure and happiness. The opportunity to come to talk and dance together is exactly what everyone wanted.

Of course, there were also traditional goodies at the festival, such as mentatshen (Aman's ears). Everyone could remember the history of their people, the history of the struggle between absolute good and absolute evil.

As a result, Purimspiel was bright and cheerful, and a tour was also organized with a performance in the city of Poltava.
