"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
Chag Purim Sameach!
“Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” – Esther4:16
Happy Hanukkah!
Okay, now go listen to the story of the Maccabees told my favourite Jewish a cappella group, the Maccabeats.
Okay…today’s Friday Frivolity was a little nerdy…computer nerdy. So, for today only, I’m posting a second Friday Frivolity which is Hebrew nerdy…
In honour of Rosh Hashanah, please welcome once more the Torah-tastic Maccabeats…
Want to hear more? Go listen to the Book of Good Life…
I originally had something else planned for this week’s Friday Frivolity, but I just got sent this video and just had to share. If you’ve ever struggled through the books of 1st and 2nd Maccabees, do not worry! Now it has been set to music thanks to the Maccabeats!
