Hello EuroJews,
Shavua Tov!
"Mishe-nichas Adar, marbim b'simcha." (Ta'anit 29a)
"When Adar enters, our joy increases."
*Adar is the month when we celebrate the story of Queen Esther
who revealed her true identity to King Achashverosh in order to
save her people. With drumming, feasting, and dancing, we honor
Middle Eastern traditions of achieving a deep sense of joy and
excitement. During Adar, we also reflect upon the concepts of
courage, dignity and truth to live full, enriching lives. - From
Rosh Chodesh: Celebration of the New Moon by Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb
* It's a month of Fun! … especially with the *Purim in Warsaw*
weekend
event which is just around the corner! Looking forward to seeing many of
you.
* It's also a joyous month because we have a NEW WEBSITE. Very soon you
will be able to have a log-in name and password to learn about
interesting Jewish events happening all over Europe. A big thanks goes
to Pawel in Poland who is the web master. pawelbabecki(at)op.pl
Shalom from Warsaw, Poland - Laura Evonne Steinman
