It has become a tradition for the JCC to hold the celebration as a way of giving back to the community so that families can come together for an afternoon of good quality time. Children are encouraged to dress in costumes, which is a Purim holiday custom. Kids dressed in costumes will receive a prize ticket at the door. A food and toiletry drive to benefit the Huntington Family Centers will also be held. Anyone bringing in an item to donate will receive a prize ticket. One of the carnival’s main attractions is Esther’s Café, which will open for lunch at 11:30 a.m. in the JCC’s Anne and Hy Miller Family Auditorium. A variety of home-cooked, Va’adsupervised gourmet kosher food prepared by the JCC’s chef, Donna Carullo, will be available. Menu items will include corned beef and turkey sandwiches, hamburgers, hotdogs, knishes and desserts featuring the ever popular hamantashen. The JCC Neulander Family Sports & Fitness Center’s Schayes Family Gymnasium will be transformed into a mini-indoor midway of sorts and feature kids carnival games, large inflatable bounce toys and slides, caricature drawings, face painting, balloon animals and more. Other event attractions will include entertainment, a toddler/preschool bounce house, child safe ID fingerprinting, car seat safety checks, PJ Library activities, a used book sale and release of the JCC’s 2019 Camp Romano summer camp guide. The JCC of Syracuse takes pride in putting on its Purim Carnival each year thanks to the support of a small “army” of volunteers. Some of the many crucial tasks volunteers will perform include running games, serving food and helping out in the prize room. For students seeking to fulfill community service requirements, volunteering is a great way to earn credit hours, help out the JCC and have some fun! Volunteer shifts are available from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 1:45 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about the JCC’s Purim Carnival, including volunteer opportunities and donating gently used books for the sale, contact the JCC of Syracuse at 315-445-2360 or visit www.jccsyr.org. 2019 summer camp registration begins March 24 Who’s ready for summer?
