Happy Purim!
Today is תענית אסתר, the fast of Esther, so I won't be eating until after 8pm sometime. Basically, the fast is over at about 7:40ish tonight, but right after the fast is over, we say Megillas Esther for about 45 minutes in synagogue. Yes, I will be using my iPhone Megillah tonight.
In any event. Tomorrow, outside of Jerusalem, is Purim. It is likely the most fun Jewish holiday. Kids (and some parents) dress up in costumes and go to neighbors and celebrate by exchanging purim baskets and stuff. I might leave work a bit early, but most of the religious Jewish world takes the day off.
Tonight, kids will be dressed up in synagogue. I so wonder if any will dress up as an iPhone.... It seemed to make for a popular halloween costume this year, so who knows.
I know Cartoon Barry is decked out already in his iPhone costume!
Happy Purim!
