Zoe's Pesach Play at Gan Hayeled Nursery School


Zoe's school, Gan Hayeled Nursery School, performed a Pesach (Passover) play telling the story of passover. Most of the girls were Egyptian princesses who rescued baby Moses from the river Nile (note Zoe's baby). Zoe, being dressed as a pricesses, also had to carry her magic wand. As the director of the school Lana, told the story, the kids acted out the parts, thus the worried look on Zoe's face. Seated behind Zoe is her teacher, Connie. The boys in Zoe's class seen below on the left, all were king Pharoah who wouldn't let the Jews out of Egypt. After many plagues, Pharoah let the Jews leave, but then changed his mind. So G-d had to help the Jews cross the Red sea by parting it for them (note the blue towels which Zoe is helping to move for the Jews to pass through) and then the sea closed back up before the Egyptians could cross it and catch the Jews. The play was peppered with songs and all the plagues - always love the frog song and of course the kids were adorable.


Here we are with Zoe at the school seder which followed the play. She loved the chocolate caramel matzah (as did we) and we made it at home for Pesach. It was so nice to be able to watch Zoe perform, and a treat that we could both be there.
