Purim at EVS

Last night, we went to the Purim party at EVS (Emet v'Shalom, our synagogue in Nahariya). We hadn't even decided for sure whether to go until earlier in the day. The weather has been quite stormy, and David had not been feeling so well recently. In the end, though, David was feeling better, and there was a good lull in the weather, so we decided to go. David wore a funny rainbow clown wig. I wore black jeans, a white long-sleeve thermal undershirt, my black leather biker's jacket, sparkling dangly earrings, and a genuine Hasidic black hat! Not surprisingly, my costume was a big hit! Our friend, Cynthia, who hadn't even planned to attend but changed her mind, didn't even recognize me at first.

The party itself was nothing terribly special, although they did have nice falafel with all the fixings (salatim, the so-called "salads"), and oznei Haman (hamantashen, literally "Haman's ears"!). We were glad that we had gone.
