Temple Emanu-El puts on a show

Sparkling paper snowflakes littered the floor near the big screen at Temple Emanu-El on Jan. 21 at Temple Emanu-El. 

Although the snowflakes caught the eye of a few interested children, large white balloons that were scattered throughout the room were obviously the main attraction. The children threw, kicked and caught the balloons while as waiting to watch Disney's Frozen on the temple's big screen. 

Even the snacks matched the magical theme. Instead of carrots, guests were offered Olaf's noses and Sven's antlers instead of pretzels. 

Before the movie attendees went outside to participate in Havdalah. The ritual marks the end of Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. 

As the ritual ended, the children rushed back inside, eager to curl up in their sleeping bags and watch the movie.
