I am not Jewish and I am a Southern Baptist, but our curriculum (My Father's World 1st) just happened to be the story of Esther today.  As I understand, this year, Purim is on the 20th and 21st of March. I read up a little on it and we decided to make a celebration.  We made challah using this video recipe. The top picture is painting the egg on the smaller loaf.

While we were waiting for the bread to rise, we also made hamentashen, a sort of fruit tart that is shaped like a tri-cornered hat - supposedly what the villian, Hamen, wore.

We read the story of Esther while my grandson booed and hissed at the mention of Hamen's name.  He dressed up like a king.  We took some clothes to the poor (Salvation Army drop box) and gave some food to someone.  Tonight we will eat the challah and hamentachen and watch One Night with the King.

Christians can celebrate God's providence and protection of those called to his purpose, as well as a reminder that He has and will reward those that do His will.

Looks like y'all are having much fun with school. :-)

At Mrs. G's web site, there is a phone #. You can call them and they will send you an order brochure. You have to order via mail and pay via check or money order. They don't do credit cards or debit cards. They are in Canada so shipping is kind of expensive and it takes a while for everything to be processed (to get there etc...) Having said all of that, :-) we love Mrs. G. We own about 20 of these CDs and plan to get all of them over time.

I was going to e-mail you, but I didn't see an option to e-mail you from your blg, but I could have just missed it.
Praising Him,
Kim
