The holiday of Purim celebrates the victory of the Jewish people over the evil Haman. On the day preceding Purim there is a fast called “The Fast Of Esther”. On Purim itself, the Megillah (Book Of Esther) is read twice, once at night and once during the day. Purim is celebrated by giving charity, sending Shalach Manot (gifts of prepared food) and holding a festive meal.
The holiday of Purim is celebrated on the 14th of Adar (February-March). It commemorates the foiling of a plot by a Persian minister (Haman) to kill all the Jews in Persia. Purim is observed by Jews around the world. Characterized by feasting and merriment, Purim is typically celebrated in the company of family and friends in a synagogue. Continue Reading →

Let Party Idea {Pros} walk you through every step of your child's pirate birthday party including pirate party invitations, decor, food ideas, pirate fun and games and even pirate costumes for children.
Party Idea Pros has an “old fashion” approach to kids’ parties. We say keep them small, keep them short, and keep them simple. We love hula hoops, beach balls,, crayons, washable markers, glue sticks, and musical instruments. Generally, the number of guest should equal the age of the birthday child, but don’t obsess if you are a few over or under — it is not worth the hurt feelings for an extra child or even two. Never, ever deliver invitations at school, unless every single child is invited!!!!! Save money – skip the jumpies and the pony rides.
Many of the products here also work for pirate theme baby showers!
For a great kids pirate theme birthday party there are only six essentials
A great pirate invitation — even before the party begins invitations create a sense of anticipation. Think of all the time your own child spends looking at those invitations on your refrigerator.
A cluster or two of pirate theme latex balloons mixed with some fabulous Pirate Balloons (be especially careful of latex balloons if you have very young children present)
A toy treasure chest or pirate ship, and gold coins for your centerpiece or simply use the centerpieces provided in the pirate party kits – you can always make them a little less commercial by adding balloons and some of your own pirate accessories.
Four activities: a “doing” activity such as a home “treasure hunt” a craft activity such as decorating a treasure chest, and a game activity like, “capture the pirate flag” or “pirate tug of war”, and to end the party you absolutely must break the pirate ship pinata. As the kids get older, the same activities work just make them more complex, and add a competitive/team component.
