Chai Kidz Pirate Purim in the Caribbean - Over 550 Kids and Parents!

Ahoy Mateys!
Chart yer course, adjust yer eyepatch and wake up the parrot - all hands on deck for a swashbuckling Purim party!
This past Sunday, March 16th, over 550 kids and parents came to the Brookline Teen Center to celebrate Purim. The Teen Center, looking more like a Ship's deck on the high seas, had hundreds of little pirates, Ironmen, princesses, and more, enjoying an adventurous array of activities. Treasure maps helped the kids find Walk the Plank, Candlepin Bowling, Rock Climbing, Pirate Booty Swap, a Purim Cinema, A Pirate Balloon Artist, and a captivating Yo-Yo show. A full pancake breakfast buffet, and the traditional Megillah reading by the Pirate Rabbi, accompanied by an animated slideshow of the Purim story. The energy in the building was infectious and the Purim music had everyone clapping along.
Devorah Bush, Director of Hebrew School of the Arts, said: "Purim is the holiday when we celebrate the triumph of good (Queen Esther) over evil (Haman). The message is relevant and timeless." 
Rabbi Dovid Bush (The Pirate Rabbi), Youth Director of the Chai Center said: "The Jewish holidays and traditions are all so rich and fun. Here at Chai Kidz, we aim to create a truly enjoyable experience for families; one that the kids absolutely love and connect to."
