Zehra (muslimisch, aktiv bei den #Grünen) und ich (evangelisch, seit Jugend aktiv in der #CDU ) wurden übrigens auch gestern wieder von einem linksdualistischen Account via Mastodon angeraunzt. Vorwurf: Wir sollten gefälligst nicht gemeinsam den Ramadan feiern, denn wir führten mit unserer interreligiösen Familie doch nur „das Patriarchat“ weiter. Das störe doch sehr…
Rechtsdualistische Beschimpfungen von #X - ern erfahren wir ja fast täglich, alle paar Wochen kommt eben auch ein linksdualistischer Anwurf via #Fediverse hinzu. Mein erstes Shitstörmle erlebte ich hier auf Mastodon, weil ich als Vegetarier „nicht vegan genug“ sei…
Und was haben wir heute also als Familie gemacht? Wir waren gemeinsam & geheim demokratisch wählen. 🗳️
Weil wir an die #Freiheit des Grundgesetzes glauben, verschieden & dialogisch sein zu dürfen! Gegen jeden (!) feindseligen #Dualismus , auch auf #Mastodon … ❤️🇩🇪🇪🇺🙌
Allen, die es feiern, wünschen wir einen gesegneten #Ramadan , #Purim & #Östern !

The Purim gift basket in Hebrew is /meesh-'lo-akh ma-'not/ משלוח מנות
Hamantaschen is /'o-zen ha-'man/ אזן המן or אוזן המן
And Purim is formally /poo-'reem/ and colloquially /'poo-reem/ פורים.
Happy Purim 💙🥳

#War is stupid. #Purim is the happiest of Jewish holidays, celebrated with dressing up in costumes and reading the book of Esther, which tells of saving the Jews in ancient Persia (perfect timing). Today, Israelis are celebrating as they can. The photos are all of people participating in the reading in public bomb shelters.

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther (usually dated to the late-5th or 4th centuries BCE). #FactsMatter #Purim

This is one of the best short (only 40 min!) discussions of the final chapters of Megillat Esther I’ve encountered, with Rabbi Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Daniel Reifman of the Pardes Institute.
“As Purim approaches, they explore different ways to understand these passages: Was the war defensive? A product of its time? Or even intentionally over-the-top? The conversation offers a model for engaging difficult texts with honesty, while still celebrating Purim with depth and joy.”

I created a video that uses Purim's costume theme to teach you Hebrew in a way you'll actually remember.
The method? Disguising Hebrew words in English "costumes".

When Hebrew words sound like English words (but mean something totally different), we can create memorable associations that stick forever.

No, Purim is not Jewish Halloween – this is why
Unfortunately, many people know the holiday of Purim, which occurs next week, only as the “Jewish Halloween” – as a big dress-up (or strip-down) party celebrated with meaningless mirth and carnival-like abandon. I beg to offer a more sober, theological, and ka…

https://anabaptistworld.org/queen-vashti-says-no/
If you are like me and looking for an alternative way to engage with the #Jewish holiday of #Purim this year, I strongly recommend this bit of midrash (which lets us see into the mind of #QueenVashti before she bravely said no to the king) written by a professor at Eastern #Mennonite University.
Also, on a side note, I'm really happy with the number of recent articles in Anabaptist World magazine that have brought Jewish thinking and ways of engagement (such as midrash) to its pages. It obviously fits into my own bi-religious orientation, but I also think there is fertile ground for some new epiphanies when we consider concepts from different theological/philosophical perspectives.

A look at how the Book of Esther grew everything from extra prayers to love triangles to cloven-hoofed devils once Hollywood got involved. Fidelity vs. embellishment says a lot about the storytellers—and the eras reshaping the tale.
