I had to Google that. Sounds interesting.

For such a time as this.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

But, you can't ignore the bravery of Esther. (I bet she was way-y-y hot!)
I found what you said riveting.

Less than a month until celebrating another escape.
Exodus, escapes, and slavery. Our holidays are so cheery!
We are sure a tough crowd to annihilate.

I just finished the Sultan Knish email/ post about it. As a Christian, I am trying to learn more about my Jewish family and friends.
Mordechai. Wow. I know some neo Jewish kids that have no clue. What a lineage to celebrate!
I don't know if "happy Purim" quite does it. I wish you a thoughtful time. A reflective time? Happy survival maybe?
Shalom indeed....

I just did one of those ancestory DNA tests and found out I am 2.8% Azerbaijan Jewish! So thank you for the Purim blessing!

Just about every major civilization/empire that has attempted to annihilate you is in the dust bin of history. There's a reason for that.

Still, it'd be nice if they stopped trying.
"I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here." -- Ronald Reagan, Farewell Address, Jan. 11, 1989

In the tale of Purim, the Persian king only countermanded his genocidal decree as a result of his Jewish wife's pleas.
The present day Iranian foreign minister, in turn, now has an independent spin.
I'll have go at making Hamantaschen, fruit filling. Be blessed and happy.

Let us know how it turns out? Maybe post your recipe.
I haven't had any good Hamentaschen since my grandmother died, many years ago. Yeah, I've had some store bought, but it's not the same as what my old Russian-Polish-Jewish grandmother made.
