Celebrating Purim with the Children
I made my annual visit to the zoo on Shushan Purim and celebrated with a mixed crowd of animals, some furrier than others, and weirdly some even had human faces. Midget Royalty paraded through the zoo park: a host of kings and queens, princes and princesses, cohanim, butterflies and ladybugs, and more. We all know that Purim is not Purim without children showing off their costumes and painted faces. Yet, you often wonder who are enjoying showing off their little ones in costumes more, the children and babies or the proud parents and grandparents. Especially when you observe a young child attempting to pull his wings off or quickly snap his head off, or makeup smeared from ear to ear which makes you contemplate as to what or who they were originally, all the while parents are frantically trying to keep them together in one piece, at least until the photo shoot is over.
