It was nice to see them going around the schunah letting everyone on for pictures and even rides!! Thanks or bringing that extra touch of Purim every year guys :))))

What is the purpose?
March 14, 2012 5:30 pm

Is the focus of Purim having a good time, or giving others a good time? In the shtetl, those who dressed up did so in order to go from door to door and collect money for tzedaka. Most of the mitzvos of Purim focus on helping others and expressing unity. I assume that the family in this news item spent the day bringing happiness and mitzvos to others.

March 10, 2012 10:13 am

I love it! Very cute! To all you incredibly negative people out there… Lighten up! So what if it cost a few extra dollars? Judging from the (more positive) comments, it brought a smile to people’s faces, and isn’t that what Purim is all about? Don’t worry, there are no hard feelings, O.K… maybe a little ;)! JK! A Freilichen Purim!

Why do you need high school to learn how to spell obviously never received any formal education or you would know spelling is learned in younger grades and reading books helps as well so if you cant spell you are probably not going to college so just think twice before making these grand statements about our generation

negative opinions

if you have nothing nice to say, its not necessary for you to say anything at all…… especially in writing

To @11: Reb Aizik Homiler was farbrengen with chassidim and they ran out of vodka. So they passed around a hat to collect. It reached the end of the table, and one of the last there, peered in, and exclaimed “So much money, we should give it to tzedaka!.” Everyone looked to Reb Aizik, and he nodded approval. So then they sent around the hat again – this time for the mashkeh. But the same thing happened. So they asked Reb Aizik should they send the hat around a third time? He answered “Yeh, ober koydem shikked arois dem shoyteh.”… Read more »

I have seen the pics read the messages,,, there is something so interesting here, most times i read blogs, an op-ed, a news clip, etc someone somewhere has something negative to say,, yes its purim, they have decided that they want to do something different, something to bring a smile to those that need it, something interesting, something new, so they spent a few dollars once a year, please no offence, but when it comes to personal thoughts others money. mind you own business let ppl enjoy once a year.. sorry for being harsh, its my personal feelings, here bless… Read more »
