On Monday, March 1^st, Frisch held its annual Shushan Purim Chagigah, Frisch in Disguise. After breakfast, students clad in hilarious and creative costumes assembled in the auditorium. The celebration began with a showing of the senior Shiriyah video.  Next, the rabbis performed a skit accompanied by short videos.

Following the video presentations, Rabbi Wald, dressed as Elvis, hosted an adapted version of the game show “Let’s Make a Deal.” Several students were called up to the stage and asked to choose one of three boxes, each containing a hidden prize.  The prizes ranged from a gift certificate to iTunes to a box of straws.

Following the game show, students were called up from each grade and given an opportunity to showcase their costumes.  Costumes included Willy Wonka, Avatar, and “pigs in a blanket.” This year’s winner was a group of junior boys dressed up as sophomores.

After the contest, the auditorium was cleared of chairs and dancing ensued.  There was much enthusiasm as the students came together as a school to celebrate Purim. The chagigah concluded with a feast of ice cream and toppings in the cafeteria. Although students were sad to return to their classrooms, a boisterous mood continued for the remainder of the day.
