Purim

We had a Megillah reading for Purim on Sunday, which was really nice. As in previous years, we did this at the university, using an old Megillah from the University's special collections. About 40 people came, including a dozen preschool and primary age children, who got well into the spirit of things as Rabbbi Rose read the Megillah. My 9-year old daughter was marching around with the others, shouting "two ... four ... six ... eight, who do we really hate - Haman!". Afterwards the adults chatted and ate, while the children continued running around. Special thanks to Sarah, who happened to be in London on Saturday night and did an emergency shop for us then when our Internet food order failed to appear on time.
