Happy Purim!

Cover of February 27 - March 5, 2015 Jewish Journal

My husband just brought home my favorite weekly, the Jewish Journal, and among all of those crazy headlines, were the words "DON'T PANIC! IT'S JUST OUR ANNUAL SPOOF COVER.  THE REAL NEWS IS STILL INSIDE."  Why the spoof you ask? Purim starts tonight, it is a time of costumes, parties, jokes, celebrations, and spoofs.  I have been in bed all day, so weird that I don't have a chest cold, runny nose, or sinuses, but a non stop headache and feel a bit dizzy.  I cannot deprive my kids of Purim the next two days, so I am going to bring them and sit, and let them run around and have fun.  I will post all the costume fun tomorrow, they look so cute, and are so excited.

Everyone adds their own flair to Purim, some a rainbow challah, and some creative costumes from a trendy fad going around.  I am looking forward to sitting back and watching the show, I usually like to be part of the show, but tonight I am taking it easy and letting the kids have center stage.

An Israeli Purim costume poses a question of talmudic complexity -- what color is this dress?
