PURIM

The 28th of February 2010, Jews celebrate the holiday of Purim.  One of the messages of Purim is change.  We can change how we, and the world thinks and behaves toward each other, with just a few small words and deeds, you and I can be instruments to help the human race be more loving and kind to each other, no matter what race, religion or origin.  Happy Purim! 

Thanks to Martha S., a student in Engl 177 for this information on Purim.
