Jewish Humor Central is a daily publication to start your day with news of the Jewish world that's likely to produce a knowing smile and some Yiddishe nachas. It's also a collection of sources of Jewish humor--anything that brings a grin, chuckle, laugh, guffaw, or just a warm feeling to readers. Our posts include jokes, satire, books, music, films, videos, food, Unbelievable But True, and In the News. Some are new, and some are classics. We post every morning, Sunday through Friday. Enjoy!
"Jews all over the world celebrate this holiday by holding feasts, exchanging gifts"(of food) "and wearing costumes",....you left out READING THE MAGILLAH and singing and dancing and hearing lectures on this very HOLY day.Masks(costumes) reminiscent of the hiddeness of G-d in the historic Story of Esther and teaching that G-d is always present though not seen. A Frelichen Purim!
ReplyDeleteBesides teaching that are no "coincidences" Purim teaches that before risking her life by approaching the king without being called by him, she fasted(as do we now before Purim:The Fast of Esther Tannis Esther) and had ALL the Yidden pray for her life and success.UNITY and prayers.We need that today.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 1 and 2 forgot to mention giving money to the poor.
ReplyDeleteThis SURELY is not "the Jewish Halloween"!
