The show is also a benefit for Hazon, the Jewish environmental group.Need more info? Got questions? Email Esther, Queen of Purim: [email protected].
Has anyone here ever walked through Borough Park Brooklyn on Purim?
Would it be interesing?
Would I be made to feel uncomfortable? Be ignored? Or just bored?
Is Purim just for kids in orthodox neighborhoods or can I expect lots of public, righteous drunkedness?
I’m jealous
Now if I could only get my white trash version of the Purim story on Broadway, that would be a Purim to remember!

Is dressing up in faux suicide bomb vests and black Hamas palamilitary threads in good or bad taste at such a function?
The people of Jayyous have chosen non-violent resistence against the appropriation of their lands by the barrier and the expansion of the setttlement of Tsofim. Come join us at Purim and find out more.

No, man, dig: The event is where people with no better conception of their Judaism than liberalism get so confused, that they can’t tell the difference between the enemy and their own people- Adloyada! Whereas during the rest of the year, these fools pretend to be jews…
Ageeoo:
I Just checked out JATO’s mission statement. There is nothing there stating a position against suicide bombing, so I’m just going to assume that the Hamas headband and cardboard suicide belt are OK. I’ll see you there, I’ll be the one pimpin’ with my virgins.
