Heading to one of my kid’s classroom later next month to speak about Ramadan and Purim - trying to make it relatable and engaging for ten years olds of every faith . This article is excellent.

Hey, don't forget the non-Abrahamic religions: Holi is on March 14--aka Purim this year. In the SF Bay Area, there's a joint Holi-Purim mash-up on March 9. I cannot imagine a better mash-up!

Holy Holi of Holies, Batman! Thanks for reminding us. Please send details - and maybe photos after.

Well, that didn’t work. I did try to post one. It was great—a Jew and a Hindu covered in many colors posing with Queen Esther in the palace.

We ate Hamentashen, drank mango lassi, watched dances and performances telling the stories of each holiday and got a little sunburnt.

It was the BEST!

If you email it to me, I can post it with the article, if not in the comments section.

Is there a way to email through Substack? Not seeing it.
