To Sarah – Thanks for such a great explanation of Purim

To Elle – Im not sure about other religions at all… do all E. Orthodox churches celebrate Pesach (Passover not easter)? I get that the last supper was a passover seder but i havent heard of many christian religions celebrating it…

While I think it’s cool to see celebs out and about celebrating their religious holidays (and I gotta say Purim seems like a cool one… especially if you’re half Jewish half Christian because then you get to do it again for Halloween!) and I think it shows that there are a mix of religions in the world I have to say I’m soo tired of always seeing Madonna as the posterchild for this religion. Didn’t she grow up Catholic and convert? I know she clearly loves this religion and is completely devouted to it, I gotta say I’m just tired of seeing her already (sorry Trent, I know you love her). I’m happy to see the Seinfeld’s celebratin’ the holiday!!!

Oh and the Madonna and Jesus thing needs to go away already… we get that you’re 50 and getting divorced and that this guy is a lot younger and what not but I swear she drags him around like he’s a prop or something!

Aww… Trent, I’m sorry you never got to experience jovial Christian celebrations. My church ( E. Orthodox) has raucous celebrations; I drink more at church than anywhere else! Christianity is supposed to be jovial. It’s lent right now, but we had a smashing Mardi Gras party, and when Pascha (Easter) comes, we’ll clear out the wine section at BevMo. ;)

one thing Sarah forgot to mention is the drinking. Part of Purim is the mitzvah to drink until one forgets the difference between Hamman and Mordechai, bluring the line between good and evil. thats right, religious mandated drunkenness! good fun

You know Britney Spears’ “Womanizer” music video? The part where she’s in a black wig in the office? Well, Madonna looks like she could be the black wig Britney’s mom!

While we’re on the subject of Jewish things, you HAVE to look at this hilarious picture from the Fail Blog… (and i should say that obviously I don’t agree with this guy, which is why his sign is all the more funny)
