Chag Purim

Thank you, Eric; we are now learning to sing it in Hebrew and English. I also found some nice versions on itunes which help.

By the way, as a new user I love the website, but I am having difficulty downloading some files. I gea messages saying I need to have Windows Media installed, but I do! - and it's the latest version. Am I just being dim?

Purim holiday, purim holiday, a great holiday for the Jews

Masechot, rashanim, shirim v'rikudim

Masks, groggers, songs and dances
