Wishing all readers celebrating Purim a very happy holiday.
Purim is of course a festival marked with plenty of humour. The BBC has – perhaps unwittingly – contributed some laughs with its attempt to ‘do’ Purim in an article – placed in the Travel section of its website – which makes a clear case for writers not to indulge in unfamiliar alcohol when committed to accuracy.
“…there are three things you are supposed to do on Purim: read the Megillah (the relevant section of the Talmud, the central religious Jewish text)…”
Chag Sameach!
