[QUOTE="Star*, post: 415690, member: 4964"] I went and got the video on Ester - it was AWESOME. They didn't say anything about the Purim in it though. I liked the story, kinda remember it from Sunday school, but the video for me was better. Of course in the video she is very beautiful, and she's a no-bones kinda woman. Esther - (oh I get it - ESTHER) are you named for this strong woman? That would be very cool. Yup I am pretty sure my Hebrew 1/2 will surface immediately and I'll be fluent flem in no time. I'm Mediteranian you know.....yup....have that Thalassemia and everything to prove it. (Thank you crusty gene pool) I rode back on a plane with a few military guys that were talking about the middle east crisis weeks before all these wars broke out - but I'm not sure I'd fly now. I would love to come there. I have a list - things I want to do. Places I want to go in Israel. I bet I wouldn't get patted down in YOUR airport. lol....look to native. hahaha. ahem. But I thank you for thinking of me yet again. What is that thing women have to wear over there? Like a dashiki or something? Do you get that there or here? I want to ride a camel too. Probably wrong country on the dashiki huh? I'd like to see the pyramids, but Egypt not anyplace we'd be going right now huh? NOT SAFE I bet. But then again theres bombs going off at your bus stop - I just don't get people. I mean I get it - belive me - all the way back to the mixed blessing and all but WOW. It's dirt - get over it. Anyway it sounds like you are going to have a housefull, and that just sounds like fun. One question? When you read the Passover story? Do you read it in Hebrew or do you chant it /sing it? or is it just read in English? See these are things no one like me knows and yet most people are like - OH you shouldn't ask that ----and yet I think...WHY? So I'm asking.
