Chag Sameach, Happy Purim!


Chag Sameach - Hebrew (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew) for "Joyous festival", used for most Jewish festivals.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holiday_greetings

Tomorrow the 13th of Adar 5768 on the Jewish Calender is Ta'anit Esther (The Fast of Esther) immediately after that on the 14th of Adar 5768 is Purim.

This has always puzzled me: Why does my public school get off for Good Friday, but we don't even get a half day for Purim?

Anyways, Chag Sameakh!

“Can I get a witness?”

That's pretty funny, somewhere I heard a similar story but my memory fails me as to where.

Brave woman, that Esther. We need more people in the world like her. She is truly worthy of being remembered.

Well said Matthew, I do agree. I wonder of other great women in history like Esther.

This is truly a joyous holiday. ;)

A joyous weekend to all with something to celebrate and honor at this time.

My own people celebrate the advent of a new season of Lorem Ipsum at times like these.

So, let it be "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit." to you all.
