In keeping with the Purim theme of
"v'nahafoch
hu" (G-d turned the impending disaster into a
great victory), everything about last Friday's
Rosh
Chodesh celebration was
Topsy
Turvy.
The
chagiga took place
outdoors
instead of
inside, with a hot dog, hamburger and chicken wing
barbecue breakfast that could have passed
for
dinner.
The performance of the student band Under
Construction was followed by the appearance
of "Over Construction", a
faculty band
who amazed everyone with their musical
talent!
In addition to the food, music, and, of course,
lively
dancing, students and teachers came to school
in
topsy-turvy
apparel and costumes! Clothes
were
mismatched, inside-out, upside-down, and backwards
as students competed for the best outfit award.
Congratulations to runner up, basketball player,
Yocheved Popiol ('06) and winners Chaim Seligman
('07) and Meir Weiss('07) on their outstanding head
to toe costume.
Rabbi Ben Sugerman shared one of his
hilarious "
Top
Ten List"s, poking fun at various aspects of our
school.
The
chagiga ended with a huge finale -the
submerging of teachers in a
dunk tank! In
an attempt to
get the teachers soaked, students donated
money to throw 3 balls at the target to give their
rebbe a bath. Congratulations to Leah
Bensimon ('07), who got Rabbi Josh Spodek in the
tank on her first shot.
Thank you to the Poliak family for sponsoring
this extra special breakfast in honor of the teachers
and admininistration at WYHS.
