Jewish Holiday Thread

Just wanted a place to say Hag Purim Sameach!

Purim is a festival holiday celebrated by reading the Megillah, The Book of Esther, entirely in Hebrew (this is one of the only books where there is no mention of G-d) and everyone has to dress up and we practice the mitvot of mishloach manot (giving of gifts) which are little baskets with hamentaschen (a yummy cookie), fruit and other yummy snacks. Also it is the one holiday where Jews are commanded to get drunk and be merry. It starts on Sunday. Kids love it because there is always a carnival at synagogue.

Anyway to all the Jews have a lovely Purim and enjoy the sweets and cocktails.

If I was still practicing my faith, I'd be doing all of the above

Hope the rest of you enjoy the holiday and all that goes along with it

Cheers!!!

Hag Purim Sameach...

I wish my Grandma was still alive.
She and I would make Hamentaschen and then...
Run around screaming and laughing as we ate Haman's Ears!

It's a nice memory - thank you for starting this Julie.

I hope everyone here got through the High Holiday season okay.
I was born jewish, but don't practice so much. However I do have my favorite holidays! Purim and Pesach are my two favorites.

Tell me how Pesach is one of your favorite if you don't practice? The month before is hard work. Kashering the kitchen is tedious. Preparation for the sedars is difficult. Keeping kosher for Pesach is difficult.

What I think you're saying is that you enjoy participating in the Sedars. Now, they ARE enjoyable.

My favorites are the High Holy Days.
