Happy Purim!

Don't drink too much.
Anyone dressing up or have a costume for their children?
So far today, I've seen people dressed as a hotdog, hamburger, dragon and chicken.

Year ago our children dressed as Ester and Mordecai.

I miss those days of having toddlers to dress up to take to the Purim parade of wee ones.

JS: I do too. All my kids are adults and the only two who are married can't have kids. Last years reading of the story of Ester we were so tired we yeahed and booed in the wrong spots. My husband had to stop and let us know and then had to emphasis each name loudly. How things change.

Interesting that Esther is not found in the Dead Sea scrolls. Yet multiple versions of the Book of Enoch are.
