You will appreciate this Charlie. The first year my wife observed Yom Kippor we woke up and went to temple, then went to my parents house to wait until Break Fast. I turned on the TV and had FoodTV on all day. My family thought I was crazy, but they all watched along with me

BTW Happy Purim. Actually it is the reason I'm fasting

Happy Purim to you as well. Time to break out the noisemakers and lots of booze.

 

[CharlieD]

oh ok! thanks for the info ,and what are you gonna have when you break your fast?

 

[CharlieD]

Probably a lot of vodka and anything adible that i can find. Well actually it is going to be a community thing and since we are invited to 3 places we'll end up eating whatever they will have.

Is Purim the holiday celebrating Esther (Biblical wonder Woman) outsmarting some general?

 

[CharlieD]

That would be a very loosly put. But, yes, it is about Ester and some nazi bustard by the name of Haman who ended up hanging on the three that he was going to hang Ester's uncle.
