Purim

A few years ago, I commented to my friend Yaakov (aka Harold) that I don't enjoy Purim. My congregation is very child-focused, to the point where I felt alienated, so I just don't go to the Megillah reading there any more. And anyway, the core of the celebration is supposed to be the seudah (feast) in the afternoon, and I don't seem to know people who do that and would invite me. So Yaakov told me that I'm obviously hanging out with the wrong people, and I need to spend Purim with him.

( We fixed that. )
