Purim and Penelope
By Ian Ayres
My son and I recently returned from Israel where we had the chance to spend Purim in Jerusalem. Purim is a bit like Halloween — kids and parents dress up in costumes. And while there aren’t door-to-door “trick-or-treats,” there is a tradition of giving kids candies. Our cab driver even offered us Purim chocolate.
So it was on a beautiful warm Sunday that we got to see happy Orthodox families stroll around the Old City in full Purim regalia.
But Henry and I were floored when we passed a 6-year-old who was walking along smoking in front of his mom and dad. Not every child was smoking. But we saw three different groups that had kids — with ages ranging from about six to 13 — who were smoking. And to be clear, I’m not talking about the candy cigarettes of my youth.

message: Talk about bio stuff-- I have bound volumes of the Hilltop school newspaper that supports everything stated here.  (I also remember Ayres because I went to Pem Day too).  He was a good guy, and I was not really making fun, just having fun.  He did write the article cited "Black Like Me" which was clever and original although not politically correct.  That is really why I cited it.  I thought , and still think it was a remarkable thing for a high school kid to do at that time.  He was an intellectual even then.  He may not want the whole world to know, but what the hey, he was not even 18 then, and this is the internet.  And, its true.  And, Pem Day is a big part of who he is, imo, and should be in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.42.16.236 (talk) 21:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I've removed the plagiarism controversy - and would invite editors to re-write it in a more neutral fashion. It needs to show that there were endnotes, and that the subject asserts this was an honest mistake. This article  paints asomewhat different picture from that we were offering here. --Scott Mac (Doc) 15:48, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
