Hebrew school today
Mar. 27th, 2005 01:05 pmWe did the for-the-school performance of our purim shpiel today, which went much better than the one on Purim itself, because, one, everyone was there, and two, everyone could hear us. People laughed at the funny parts. I'm proud of my kids.
I never actually finished writing the shpiel for the teachers, so we ended up improvising it, which went far, far better than I expected, had any right to expect, or, frankly, could have written. I kidnapped two members of the Ed Committee to be the "nice judges", and it turned out that they both watched American Idol. And Rafi, of course, was familiar with both American Idol and Pop Idol.
It worked SO well. All of us teachers sucked, but, you know, that's really not a downside for a purim shpiel where we teachers were portraying American Idol contestants.
