sean and i went out to dinner recently and, completely by accident, ordered three separate tableside experiences. running our poor server ragged because we just never expected spaghetti to be such a megillah
I wrote about how most restaurant "experiences" feel like blatant cash grabs, which is logical for them but also sucks www.weareravenous.com/restaurant-e...

This scroll of the Book of Esther was scribed by a 14 year-old named Luna Ambron in 1767 in Rome--
and it's one of the very few pieces of the sacred scribal arts that we *know* to have been scribed by a girl/woman before the 21st c. (Scribes don't sign their work sooo.)

Judaism once again well ahead of the Pope, the Talmud says "Great is human dignity, as it overrides a prohibition in the Torah." (Megillah 3b, Shabbat 81b)
"All the Christian faithful and people of good will are called upon to consider the legitimacy of norms and public policies in the light of the dignity of the person and his or her fundamental rights, not vice versa."
I'm not really a Catholic (or Christian) but this was clarifying and moving.

Abuser Cory Mills, endorsed by Trump, lost in FL. Andy Ogles, Islamophobe endorsed by Trump, lost in TN. Max Miller, violently abusive - naturally endorsed by Trump, will lose in Nov.

Purim, really more than just about any other holiday (Pesach comes close in some ways) is about community. The main mitzvah of the day is communal: The public reading of the Megillah, done to "publicize the miracle". (And you might ask, what do you mean publicize it? If you're in shul for megillah,

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds:
