Purim Color War - by Amer Randell

As this was my first year as a full fledged member of our high school's faculty, I assumed the task of co-chairing this year's Purim color war celebration, with Great hopes to live up to years of DKJA's ​Rosenblatt ​High School's color war tradition.

From the initial planning with my colleague, Lydia Zafrir, and the student captains tireless work, this was a true collaborative effort of all involved.

From the morning's full Megillah reading to each group's special Purim theme, the spirit of joy, which is the cornerstone of this Jewish month of Adar, was palpable.

Beginning color war with the fast-paced Minute to Win it game, various team sports, a uniquely messy Seudat (feast of) Purim, dancing, singing, challenging tech-based "Brain Games", student produced videos and originally made Purim groggers made from recycling materials, I witnessed another ​DKJA leadership venue whereby every Rosenblatt High School student had the opportunity to showcase their unique talent.

This furthered my pride to be a member of DKJA's Rosenblatt High School family, where the spirit of Judaism, leadership and teamwork are inculcated into its daily fabric.
