We're still posting Purim content because today is Shushan Purim, an extra day of celebrating Purim in cities that were walled from the time of Joshua. Today the only city that meets this criteria is Jerusalem, and our relatives and friends in Jerusalem are getting an extra day to celebrate.
It's rare for Purim to coincide with St. Patrick's Day, but when they do, it presents an opportunity for lots of fun. The last time this happened was in 1984, when Saturday Night Live took advantage of the occurrence to open the show with a funny skit that blended the two holidays and included a cameo appearance of New York's mayor Ed Koch.
Enjoy the skit, and Shabbat shalom!
