purim-1At sundown tonight, the Jewish holiday of Purim begins.

Purim is an holiday of immense joy for the Jewish people. (see link above)  However, if you just want the basics of the holiday click here or here.

But for those who are feeling exceptionally lazy, here is a really super short overview:  It recounts when the Jewish people defeated the Persian king, and saved themselves from destruction.  Plus, we are commanded to get drunk.

Another important custom of Purim is giving gift baskets to the poor and to your friends.  Enjoy!

A very wonderful Purim to all of our Jewish citizens.

“We are continually faced with
a series of great opportunities
brilliantly disguised as
insoluble problems”
– John W. Gardner

 

Have a lovely Shabbat, and a fantastic weekend.
