"#Purim has long had an association with #drinking to dangerous excess … with the key word being “dangerous.” This comes from a famous story in the #Talmud (#Megillah 7b) about Purim which is often unfortunately only remembered for its opening. It begins:

#Rava said: A person is obligated to become #drunk on Purim to the extent that they don’t know the difference between “cursed be #Haman” and “blessed be #Mordechai.”

This is the source text for drinking to excess, ad d’lo yada, meaning “to the extent that you don’t know.” But lest you think the Talmud speaks with one voice, an anecdote follows that describes the consequences of drinking to excess..."

"At the center of #Hamadan, #Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, stands the holiest site for #Jews in Iran: a small brick mausoleum traditionally believed to hold the #tombs of #Esther and #Mordechai.

For at least the past 15 years, the #tomb has become a flashpoint for protest reacting to #Iranian regime–propagated narratives that frame the #Book of Esther not as a tale of #Jewish survival, but as a genocide of 75,000 #Iranians perpetrated by the Jews. Each year on #Purim, #protesters gather outside the mausoleum. At times, they have thrown #Molotovcocktails at the building or burned #Israeli flags.

Iranian Jewish leaders have responded with carefully worded appeals to the Interior Ministry, emphasizing their loyalty to the state and asking that protests not be held at the sacred site."

Bin gerade über den #Mordechai Report gestolpert. Gibt ja echt wenig news darüber, die man mal selbst einordnen könnte.

Am unvoreingenommensten scheint mir eine indische non-profit News-Seite zu sein:
https://thewire.in/world/war-in-gaza-is-a-genocide-database-created-by-israeli-historian-details-atrocities-against-palestinians

Ist das echt an unseren Medien komplett vorbei gegangen oder übersehe ich da was?

[15:48] In Marcel Mörings 'Mordechai' herken je de Joodse thematiek van ontheemding en vreemdelingschap, onderweg zijn, op zoek naar een thuis | Recensie

Mordechai, de nieuwe roman van Marcel Möring, is een rodelbaan aan verhalen, vol joodse thematiek. Ook deze Mordechai leeft op vreemde bodem en buigt niet voor de macht.
