which traditional Judaism a
bounds. This habit has a much
longer history than other customs
associated with Purim. Over $500
years ago when the Persian Incl
dent is said to have occurred, the
exchange of gifts was said in the
Book of Esther to have been part
of the pattern of the time.
Some have spoken Of the Book
of Esther as another great Jewish
contribution to the emancipation
of women. Esther is but one of
many heroines in Jewish history
who have acted to save their peo-
pie in great emergencies. While
the Orthodox synagogue was
rather rigid about the place of
the woman in the house of wor-
ship, women were urged to be
present during the reading of the
MegiIlah. After all, the Book of
Esther celebrates a mira lie
wrought by woman.
There must be in AXis-bound
Europe many Jews who remem-
Der the Megillah by heart. In
fear and darkness they may join
with their neighbors in recalling
another era long ago when Jew
hater seemed destined for perman-
ent empire. Then with awe they
will probably recite the requisite
blessing: Blessed art Thou, o
Lord, Who on behalf of Thy Peo-
pie Israel, metest out punishment
to all their adversaries, o God
our Savior"
In Teheran today there are
hundreds of Polish Jewish refu-
gees. For them the celebration of
Purim will have special poignance.
They will be far from the land Of
their birth. But they will be look
ing forward to deliverance in the
Land of Israel, to which some
1900 of them were recently able
to go. Undoubtedly, the pilgrims
to the tomb of Mordecai and Esth-
er in Persia will be very many

this year. The custom of pilgrim
age, deeply ingrained in the Orient
generally, will have special mean
ing now. In Persia some of the
original customs are still observed
intact, such as the burning of the
effigv of Hannah, while the child
rem ring the fire and shout 1.-The
wicked Hannah"
Somehow the ability of Jews in
the midst of all their tribulations
to dedicate Purim to unreserved
rejoicing seems much more sensi-
BILE and tignified than to spend
the day in gloomy commiseration.
In 1913. of course, one would have
to have very great courage TO
dream of spending Purim with the
joyousness of the celebrations of
previous centuries. At any rate,
Purim was held to be a day that
ought to be properly commemor-
ated. "Whosoever does work on
Purim shall never see the sign of
a blessing" according to one YER
sion Sunday, March 21st should
see that proverb rather generally
obeyed.

version Of the Spring Festival.
Until recent centuries, Jews in the
ghettos of Europe used to observe
Purim by lighting great bonfires
in which they used to burn effigies
of Hannah. According to Sir
James, this was a relic Of Baby
lonian, bacchanalian revel. More
over, it partook of form of
magic in which the burning of the
fire was supposed to assure
warmth for the Spring and the
coming of a full sun after the cold
winter.
1t is noteworthy that incarcer-
ated in their ghettos as they were,
Jews did not make Purim an oc-
casion for indicting their foes.
instead it was joyous holiday, a
celebration as though this was the
first fourteenth of Adar when the
news was flashed from the capital
city that Haman's evil decree of
pogroms of Jews had been count
eracted by an order from Ahasue-
rus that the Jews could defend
themselves if attacked.
The Jews were always sober
people. AS though to poke fun at
their own sobriety, they used to
make Purim an occasion for bibu-
lous songs and gestures. 1t would
probably be considered unseemly
today, but for many centuries the
synagogues used to resound with
humorous jingles and rhymes on
the Purim holiday. 1t was all in
tended to amuse the children.
Aside from this seeming invasion
for the sake of children of the
sanctity of the synagogue with
random songs. the sacred hymn
ology of the adults included songs
lauding the virtues of wine.
AS part of this gaiety on Purim
there developed a whole system
of mummery. In the same way
that we celebrate Halloween with
masks, the Jews for many centur-
les, beginning at least in the fiji
teenth century, used to don masks
on Purim eve and wander about
in carnival spirit. There are prob
ably certain Jewish sections today
where this custom still prevails.
It was much later before the
Purim play developed. Some re-
searchers claim that the first of
these plays was enacted in the
eighteenth century. The plays
had none of the character of the
miracle or everyman dramas but
were rather Of the opera BOOZE
type.
One of the customs of Purim
that is still widely observed is
that of making presents-orig-
inally of food and drink, but now
almost anything goes-or Shalach
MOnOs. Those who have departed
too far from Jewish tradition to
know of this custom are missing
another of the grand rituals in
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-03-19

Purim today is a solemn fes-
tival. 1t didn't used to be. Heavy
editorials are now written to show
the parallel between the fate that
overcame Hannah and that which
must befall all anti-Semites. But
in the olden days Jews used to
enjoy themselves ridiculing, not
reviling Hannah.
Gu Saturday evening, March
10th the parchments will be TAX
en- out of their leather or velvet
covers and in thousands of places
of worship Jews will recite the
MegiIlah, that fabulous account of
romance, adventure, intrigue and
Justice. Youngsters from Ortho-
dox homes will have the great JOY
of swinging their rattles as they
pounce eagerly on every mention
of Humans name in the Book of
Esther. For those who love the
epics there will be fascination IN
hearing again the story of a
drunken, tyrannous King Ahaseo-
rus who took himself new
Queen because Vashti failed to
meet his humors. They will fol-
low in all its breath-taking move
ment the story of Haman's plot
ting to destroy all the Jews of
Persia, and how patriotic Jew,
Mordecai, using a beautiful Queen
Esther saved his people from de-
struction on the day chosen by lot
for their determination at Ha-
mans order. Then, again, on
Sunday morning, where the ritual
is punctiliously observed, tn e
Megillah will once again be read,
so that the miracle of Divine
Providence may be better remem-
bered.
The explorers of antiquity have
a habit of taking fun out OF al
most everything. James Frazer,
for example, in the Golden
Bough," tries to show that Purim
was originally nothing more than

Can Any School
Top This Record?

Laytonsville Elementary School
has sold scrap iron and rubber
to the amount of $61.OO, and the
pupils are now concentrating on
the collection of fat and grease.
Believed to be the largest iron
salvage from a small school
(there are about 80 pupils), the
average was 40 pounds per pupil
or $500 pounds, for which they
received $3.50.
Most of the rubber was given
by Armstrong; garage and that
is probably a record individual
gift to a school-5500 pounds,
which Melted them $3.50.
