Purim!

I'm pleased to announce the publication of Purim - Mi Yodeya?, a booklet of questions and answers about Purim drawn from Mi Yodeya, the Stack Exchange site for high-quality Jewish Q&A. And yes, because it's Purim, the book does include some Purim Torah, humorous interpretations of, well, just about anything Jewish.

Questions include:
- Would Esther really have kept quiet?
- Why did Esther make a second party?
- Why do we publicize the miracles differently on Purim and Chanukah?
- How should we teach the violent parts of the Purim story to children?
- Can you reject others' friend requests on Facebook?
- How do we survive the zombie apocalypse?

...and more. Go, download, read, share. And for that last section, maybe have a drink to put you in the proper frame of mind. :-)
