Nurit's First Purim

Nurit doesn't remember her birth family, but knows her name is Hebrew. This sparked her interest in Judaism, and she's eager to experience Purim.


Aster, an adolescent doll wearing an "alien" style headband sits at a wooden desk, watching a laptop. A child doll with her back to the viewer, Nurit, stands next to the adolescent and watches the laptop as well. At the bottom left of the photo is a dog doll.
Nurit's heard so much about the holiday, and was itching to celebrate. Aster found a megillah reading online, and streamed the Scroll of Esther reading for Nurit. While they were both in costume, of course.

Same characters, setting and poses as before, but this time Aster and Nurit are waving blue flags. Nurit's face bandanna is more visible in this image.
They're both sensitive to sounds, and skipped drowing out Haman's name everytime they heard it. Flags are far less noisy, so they waved every time they heard Esther's and Vashti's names.

Same characters and setting as before, but now Aster and Nurit are both in profile, facing each other. Aster has her hand on Nurit's arm.
After the reading, Aster reminded Nurit about next steps.

Same characters as before, except Aster is slightly cut off from view, and the focus is on Nurit. Nurit is standing in 3/4, with her arms thrown up in shock.
Sending the hamentaschen! Nurit was horrified she'd forgotten something so wonderful.

Three child dolls, two Black, one not, are dressed in bits of costume. They stand around a brightly colored table, holding a basket piled high with snacks. The rightmost doll has her hands on the basket handle, ready to pick it up.
While the reminder prompted Nurit to sent hamentaschen to her friends, she still forgot about sending sweets to the big kids. Thankfully, her friends had already prepared a delicious gift basket to share with the older ones, on Nurit's behalf.

Six child dolls, most Black or brown, are dressed in bits of costume. They stand around a brightly colored table holding a platter of hamentaschen. All of them are cheering.
All of the littles were thrilled when the hamentaschen came.


Nurit and two other dolls stand around the hamentaschen table. Nurit is reaching out to take one. In the background, another doll is sitting and holding a hamentaschen.
Waiting was tough, but they held out until Nurit's arrival.

Two dolls sit against a wall, each enjoying frosting covered hamentaschen.
The triple chocolate ones were especially popular.
