The Otzar HaTorah Yeshiva held a traditional Purim party – Chugim.

At the "Chugim Chagiga" event, parents and family members were presented with samplers of extra-curricular activities, which the students usually enjoy as part of their afternoon programs. About 30 volunteer children from a local Bayit VeGan Talmud Torah ran the event, with the aim of increasing integration into the community.

In the "Shoham" Day-hab Center in Bnei Brak, the adutls enjoyed a day that was all Purim.

The adults brought Mishloach Manot from home and exchanged with one another. They also performed Matanot L'Evyonim by giving Tzedaka in charity boxes. Afterwards the adults listened to Megilla reading, one counselor read the Megilla in the traditional melody while another counselor gave a brief summary and explanation after each section.

Feasting and happiness were conducted with great pomp! Thank to singer and keyboardist Aryeh Brunner and Tzviki Locker.

In the Supported Housing Program, traditional celebrations were held in all the apartments, attended by parents and families.

The Jerusalem "Yecholot" Vocational Training Program held an uplifting Purim banquet attended by Interior Minister Rabbi Aryeh Deri.

In The Beit Shemesh "Yecholot" Vocational Training Program, the men celebrated with famous singer Ara'le Samet while the women enjoyed various musical activities.

The "Otzar Yerushalayim" Talmud Torah was abuzz with hectic activity including decorating the hallways and preparing a sumptuous Purim tish.
