Since when does getting wasted on St. Pattie's have
anything to do with Christianity? Or being Irish for
that matter. Open yer cultural horizons.

Orange, if I didn't take up a bit of drink already, I'd see that as an insult!

Who said I was looking for a challenge?

And all the straight ones around here seem to be rolly-polly, beared, and wearing long black coats and fedoras. Yech!

They're all Hassidic?

Where do you live?

Still in NY?

I've checked the Internet (www.jewfaq.org) and find the thing that I was asking about...

Purim is celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, which is usually in March. The 13th of Adar is the day that Haman chose for the extermination of the Jews, and the day that the Jews battled their enemies for their lives. On the day afterwards, the 14th, they celebrated their survival. In cities that were walled in the time of Joshua, Purim is celebrated on the 15th of the month, because the book of Esther says that in Shushan (a walled city), deliverance from the massacre was not complete until the next day. The 15th is referred to as Shushan Purim.

But it's probably that, as you have told me, Purim is only celebrated in 14th Adar, because only a few group of (western) cities were walled in the time of Joshua...

and the day that the Jews battled their enemies for their lives

That's what we tell the goyim.
