תענית אסתר : פורים :: יום הזכרון : יום העצמאות
About Me
- Name: Steg (dos iz nit der šteg)
- Location: formerly of the Valley of the Aboriginal Ghosts, Israel
(what's with that name?) I've cool kicked it up in NYC. I've hunted the Giant Albino Deer Monster in Upstate New York. And i've lived with the Aboriginal Ghosts whose name still haunts my homeland. So take it from me when i say that the Goblin King discusses his lesson plans with NOBODY!!!

Nice idea.
My Hebrew birthday is the day after Tisha B'Av, so I suppose I take it for granted that you have to go through unpleasant things to get to the good things.
Taanis Ester staat tot poerim gelyk yom hatzikkaron staat tot yom ha'atzmaus?
Mameesj!
Eeen goede inzicht.
Sure.
And then there's צום האזרחים : עצרת. (In Steggian Syrian communities).
And shouldn't there be a fast day on ערב תַֿעְקְסְגִּיבִֿיע?
"And shouldn't there be a fast day on ערב תַֿעְקְסְגִּיבִֿיע?"
I've been advocating something similar for years.

my Hebrew birthday is on Pesahh Sheini, so i take it for granted that it's okay to be lazy and/or impure as long as you get your act together within a month ;-)
the:

mar:
i can not figure out what you're talking about
spuyten duyvel mitwout beaverkill kill van kull tappan zee schuylkill staten utrecht!
[In reference to: "Taanis Ester staat tot poerim gelyk yom hatzikkaron staat tot yom ha'atzmaus?
Mameesj!
Eeen goede inzicht."
Translation of mine: The fast of Esther stands to purim like yom hatzikkaron stands to yom ha'atzmaus? Mamesh! A good insight.
I like your responding with a string of New York Dutch toponyms. Somehow it feels like it puts us on par with the native Americans...... ;-D
heh. i love Dutch toponyms. Especially ones involving -kill. ;-)
and i figured out the gist of what you said before :-)
Schuylkill ("skookull") is a river by Philadelphia, btw, not in NY. when i first saw the name, i thought it would be read Shy-ull-kill.
It actually means 'sheltered brook'.
Best 'kill' nomen: Fishkill. Peta demanded that the name be changed to something more nurturing .... like 'Fishlive' of 'Fishlove' .... until it was pointed out to them that A) Kill in NY Dutch simply means creek or small river, and B) Kill was precisely what several people would like to do with them if they persisted in politically motivated revisionism of the idiot variety.
Happy yom ha'atzmaus.
like 'Fishlive' of 'Fishlove'
Shoud read 'like 'Fishlive or 'Fishlove'.
Sorry, me writing gibberish very well only.
I'm not sure I missed something, but isn't that the very reason Yom hazikaron was instituted before Yom Haatzmaut?
Lipman:
maybe, but i don't remember it ever being presented that clearly.
