We enjoyed a cross cultural treat this past weekend: a real Jewish holiday! Our neighbor is a rabbi and his family invited us to celebrate Purim with their congregation. Purim is a boisterous affair that commemorates the heroic acts of Esther in saving the Jewish people from annihilation. As our rabbi friend says "All Jewish holidays have the same story line; Someone tried to kill us, we won, let's eat!"
Our "Biblical" costumes
Love the rabbi's quote! And I have to ask about the costumes--were the wellies for aesthetic or practical purposes?
