Tonight through tomorrow is the Jewish holiday Purim. In this picture, kids are celebrating Purim at the Hebrew Institute of Far Rockaway, 1950.

A celebratory event coinciding with the spring, Purim commemorates the salvation of Jewish subjects in the Persian Achaemenid Empire from Haman, a royal vizier who planned to murder the whole population in a single day. The main antagonist in the Book of Esther, Haman had thrown "lots" to determine the date of the slaughter—the 13th day of the Hebrew month of Adar. Instead, he saw his plans undone by the Jewish leader Mordecai and his cousin and adopted daughter, Esther.⁠

The traditional wearing of costumes and masks at Purim is thought to have been influenced by Roman carnivals of the 15th century. ⁠

Esther Goes Before the King

1 It so happened that on the third day Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace, opposite the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the palace, opposite the entrance. 2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she met with his approval. The king extended to Esther the gold scepter that was in his hand, and Esther approached and touched the end of the scepter.

3 The king said to her, “What is on your mind, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even as much as half the kingdom will be given to you.”

4 Esther replied, “If the king is so inclined, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for the king.” 5 The king replied, “Find Haman quickly so that we can do as Esther requests.”

So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 6 While at the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your request? It shall be given to you. What is your petition? Ask for as much as half the kingdom, and it shall be done.”

7 Esther responded, “My request and my petition is this: 8 If I have found favor in the king’s sight and if the king is inclined to grant my request and approve my petition, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them. At that time I will do as the king wishes.”

Haman Expresses His Hatred of Mordecai

9 Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise or tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai. 10 But Haman restrained himself and went on to his home.

He then sent for his friends to join him, along with his wife Zeresh. 11 Haman then recounted to them his fabulous wealth, his many sons, and how the king had magnified him and exalted him over the king’s other officials and servants. 12 Haman said, “Furthermore, Queen Esther invited only me to accompany the king to the banquet that she prepared. And also tomorrow I am invited along with the king. 13 Yet all this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”

14 Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a gallows 75 feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented.”

It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built. — Esther 5 | New English Translation (NET Bible) New English Translation ® copyright ©1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C.

I was wondering who Haman was and why all the Jewish people on my timeline were saying he's an anti-Semetic jerk. I assumed he was some political figure or maybe celebrity who had starting saying anti-Semetic stuff.

I looked him up, and I guess I wasn't completely wrong.

Rolling up as Haman Karn to Day 1 of Anime Expo 1998. Looks like Bandai just announced the English language release of Gundam! Eh, not sure if we want G Savior. I’ll remember to start ordering all the VHS tapes on AnimeVillage.com!

If you got my Sunday email today, I started it with a recap of the Purim story, for those less familiar with it...

and yes, it is - as we say in Hebrew, אותה גברת בשינוי אדרת, 'the same lady wearing a different hat'. A different story but basically the same:

The Jews are hated, someone's life mission is to kill us, others are like 'Yeah, let's kills those Jews once and for all!'... and at the end we survive. Scarred, but we survive.

While Haman in Hebrew sounds the same המן ha-'man, and Hamas in Hebrew is a little different - kha-'mas חמאס, their main goal in life was to kill us.

And so, in the spirit of Purim, I say: GET A LIFE. Killing Jews is not it.

And if you're not getting my emails yet, we can fix that. Just comment the word EMAIL, and I will get you on that list.

PURIM POLL

[spoofymcgee]

hi hi hi. quick question. whatthefuck.

so i see this ad while im scrolling tumblr right. and tumblr has so many fucky little funky ads that i usually just kind of giggle and move on.

but not today! today i clicked the read more.

and just.

look.

first off this is just a lie. plain and simple. haman in hebrew is המן. the gematriah of his name–turning the letters to their equivalent numbers, which are 1-10 and then 20, 30, 40 and so on, ending with 100, 200, 300 and 400 in order–isn't 666???

like. it's 5, 40 and 50. 95. i literally don't know where they got 666 from.

second -

haman. doesn't. try to become king? i mean i guess he's second in command but he's not like, power thirsty. he's happy where he is and he's just prideful and bigoted. he's trying to kill a whole nation because one guy didn't bow down to him. it's not that deep man.

also. arguably g-d didn't step in? like the whole point of megillat ester is that it doesn't have g-d's name. god is hidden in the text, working in the background, but ester and, to an extent, mordechai, are the ones who destroyed haman. g-d didn't have much to do with it. no miracles, no forced changes if heart.

maybe maybe he sent an angel to slap achashverosh upside the head so he didn't kill ester when she came into his throne room (the text says it was illegal for anyone to approach the king without being called) but that's all commentary, there's nothing in the text.

so this is like, entirely incorrect. go actually read the megillah and then get back to me.

okay so this is kind of where i gave up. just. dude. leave that shit out of my megillah. it has nothing to do with him. neither of those people appear in this book.

you can't just grandfather mr jc into the tanakh. he's not gonna be alive for at least 4-5 centuries. please. come on.

okay, last thing before i'm done.

setting aside the obvious of 'this is a story about a dictator trying to kill the entire jewish nation because one guy refused to bow down to him and getting his comeuppance in a major fucking way, from the 4/5th century BCE, why the hell are you cramming fucking jesus into it'

just.

'these people bore me. where is the use of the name of jesus?'

i wish this sentence had been at the beginning because it tells you 85% of what you need to know about this article and everything you need to know about this person.

god. what do you even say to that.

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, commenting on this statement of the Arizal, declared that these words were meant to comfort the tired souls of the exiled Jew, to the soul of one who feels that he or she is up against an insurmountable challenge, an impenetrable cloud of darkness. Much like the times we live in right now.

Hillel, the great leader of Israel, turns to this person and says: "If Pharaoh, the embodiment of evil, the man who cast fear even into the heart of Moses, so much so that G‑d had to reassure him and say, 'Come to Pharaoh — I will accompany you,' ended up drowned in a river, certainly all the Pharaohs of history, all the great serpents that tried and will try to drown you through physical and spiritual persecution —they will be drowned as well. For evil has no leg to stand on. Like smoke, it obscures our vision for a time but must ultimately disappear." - The Rebbe

Pharoah died, yet we survived.

Haman died, yet we survived.

Hitler died, yet we survived.

Stalin died, yet we survived.

Nasser, Assad, Saddam, Arafat, and most of the world leaders who have tried to kill us since 1948 have died, yet we thrive.

All of our greatest persecutors died, and we are still here. And there is still time for the Kanyes, Fuentes, and Milos of this world to make their choice: are you going to give up the baseless hatred rotting your heart, or are you gonna let it consume you until it drowns you?

Just know that, whatever you choose, we will survive and we will thrive.
