For Purim or the Feast of Lots (this Sunday), we made groggers. On Sunday, we will read Esther and shake our groggers whenever Haman is mentioned!

I love your new winter traditions. We try to include lots of traditions, too. It seems to mean a lot to the kids. I really want to add the Jewish holidays, too, but I have not been able to yet. Perhaps I will be motivated to start Purim this Sunday! Thanks for the reminder!
Yes. The Jewish celebrations are high on my list this year too!
I enjoyed looking through your winter seasonal traditions, what nice ideas. I especially liked the idea about Purim and the groggers craft, as a Sunday school teacher I am always looking for interesting ideas, I will have to remember this next time I teach the story of Esther. :)
love this -pinning it to my advent board for this year
We took the groggers and read the story with our Sunday School class too!
It will definitley be one that we do year after year. The kids loved it!
