Purim - Blog Posts
It’s so fun that we’re getting the one-two punch of the jewish boo-that-historical-dictator-and-cheer-for-his-death day followed immediately by the official tumblr boo-that-historical-dictator-and-cheer-for-his-death day this year, truly a grand collaboration between two of the greats
Does anybody know what Purim is? It's a Jewish holiday involving costumes.
Anyway, I'll be Tyler Durden this year 🔥‼️
פורים שמח!!
We’re really having a holiday alignment this weekend. Purim, Holi, and Pi Day are all today. And then tomorrow we have the Ides of March. And on Monday is St. Patrick’s Day. And pretty much this entire month is Ramadan.
חג פורים שמח!!
Chag Purim Sameach!
Shoutout to Mordechai and Esther for surviving a genocide attempt and deciding this time of the year belongs to joy. It would have been so easy to respond to that with anger or sadness or fear but instead they went. Oh. It’s springtime. It’s warm and nice and the flowers are blooming and the animals are out. And we are Alive. We should drink and celebrate and be happy. And all our people should drink and celebrate and be happy at this time of year for the rest of time. Real ones for that honestly
🎉
[image description: an edited version of the Bugs Bunny "I wish all a very pleasant evening" meme made to say "I wish all of my Jewish followers a very pleasant purim". Instead of just being in a tuxedo, Bugs is wearing a carnival mask and is holding a grogger in his hand. Next to him is a small image of a gravestone with white text on it reading "Bye Haman you loser lmao"]
פורים שמח!! למה אתם מתחפשים?
Happy Purim!! What are you dressing up as?
One of my favorite Purim memories was when I was around 8 or 9 dancing with my family wearing a yellow princess dress. It not as vivid but from it I still feel the innocence and just pure joy I had in that moment.
With all the antisemitic violence we're seeing everywhere, I think we deserve a positivity break.
Since Purim is right around the corner, what's one of your favorite Purim memories? (If you can't pick one you can do multiple.)
I think this might've been two years ago or so but the Chabad I went to back home was hosting a Purim celebration. During this party they decided to have us play trivia and I won! (I get super competitive during trivia events haha.)
So yeah that was really fun!!
Looking forward to seeing your responses, and remember to take care of yourselves!
