Purim

I missed Purim a couple of weeks ago. Purim is the celebration of the events described in the book of Esther, where the Jews living in Persia were saved from a genocidal plot by Esther and Mordecai. In modern celebration this is a very festive holiday, sometimes involving parties, costumes, lots of noise, and reenactments of the story of Esther (i.e. a Purim spiel). Here Joanna Brichetto and her son came up with a LEGO Purim spiel. That's Haman in the back wearing the pirate hat. :)
