[Jewish] PURIM CELEBRATION THIS WEEKEND (Sat. and Mon.)

[Steven Nathan]

Believe it or not, Purim is here! So there is a 5-college celebration at 
Amherst College Alumni Hall tomorrow (Saturday) night at 7:30 pm.  The 
#38 bus departs for Amherst at 7:05.  If you have a car and would like 
to offer a ride then meet in the FPH parking lat at 7:00 and we will 
leave at 7:15.  So if you miss or can't make the bus come to the parking 
lot, but there is no guarantee of you getting a ride.  If you can offer 
a ride or need a ride e-mail one of the signers at aeg06, jmp06 or drs09 
ASAP.

Then at the end of Shushan Purim (the day after Purim) ,which is Monday, 
we will have a Hamantaschen Baking Shindig at 7:00 in the Merrill Living 
Room/Kosher Kitchen. So come on Monday night ready to bake and eat lots 
of Hamantashen!  Feel free to bring some other refreshments as well if 
you 'd like.

Shabbat Shalom and Purim Same'akh (Happy Purim),

PS If it's Purim now, that means Passover is only a month away!  Watch 
your e-mail for info on our community seder on the 1st night (March 29).

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. /

/"It also became clear to me that in regard to cruelties committed in 
the name of a free society, some are guilty, all are responsible."/
