What a month of joy we have had! Purim set the tone for Bnei Akiva’s activities this past month and the only way we can describe it is b’simcha.
We started our Purim prep early this year working on our Mishoach Manot packs. Led by Liam Amsdorf and Lexi Sank, we were fortunate enough to sell over 200 of them, and give our community members all over Cape Town the opportunity to partake in the mitzvah. Our Purim Carnival on 5 March was an absolute success. Over 150 madrichim, chanichim and parents came together to spend the afternoon playing carnival games, listening to music, learning about Purim and winning prizes. We were filled with such a sense of pride and solidarity as we brought together children and adults of all ages, and had the most fun doing so. To end off the Purim celebrations, Bnei Akiva ran the game show entertainment at the Morasha Purim Party which was described as “Epic! Enjoyed by all”.
We have a few exciting things coming up — our MiniMach sign-up link has been sent out and we are (not so) patiently counting down the days until we are on site with all our channichim for the most amazing and immersive MiniMach experience yet! Lastly, on 19 March we are hosting our first Chesed Day of the year in partnership with the Mensch Network. We look forward to giving back to the country that surrounds us, and to educating our channichim while providing them with an opportunity to give back. To another power month! Kadimah Bnei Akiva. — Leah Hepple, Cape Town Chairwoman.
