After having organized an art contest “How beautiful Esther saved the Jewish nation” in December 2007, we launched an action of reading of the Book of Esther in our school. Mrs. Joanna Hachulla prepared a special lecture on the analysis of the Book of Esther for the 1st grade students. 3rd grade girls participated in lessons reading texts from the Book. The 1st graders had opportunity to learn the origins of the Purim holiday, and discover its heroes, define the notions of “Purimspiel” and “Jewish carnival”. Mrs. Malgorzata Mazur-Zajac carried out the same action for the students of the 2nd gradeThe action is supported by the Evangelic Parish in Czerwionka, and coordinated by its woman pastor Mrs. Beata Reske i Marietta Gibiec. Also participating is the Catholic Parish in our town, with rev. Maciej Kus being the coordinator.
