Purim tonight!

[xiphias]

So, if you don't have a place to go for megillah reading in Boston, well, there are a lot of good places around.

One of them is Temple B'nai Brith in Somerville, right near Winter Hill. That's where I'll be, and it's where our Purim Schpeil will be performed. Now, I've cut, like, two pages from the script, so I'm hoping it will be tighter and flow better.

I just got email that the person playing Haman is sick, so we'll be doing re-casting and re-shuffling parts, but that's to be expected. I certainly hope it's going to be good.

Esther Chapter 8 (9-12):
(9) The King's scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, that is, the month of Sivan;

ngugh,
jar wejDIch, SIvan ponglu'bogh, jaj cha'maH wejDIch
lughommoHpu' voDleH ghItlhwI'pu';

and letters were written, at Mordecai's dictation, to the Jews and to the governors and the officials of the one hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia:

'ej yeHuDIYpu'vaD
'ej wo' wa'vatlh cha'maH Soch
*HoDu *quS je jojDaq Sep qumwI'pu'vaD yaSpu'vaD je,
QIn'e' jatlhbogh *morDeHay ghItlh chaH.

to every province in its own script and to every people in its own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

Hoch SepvaD ghItlhDaj lulo'
'ej Hoch SeghvaD HolDaj lulo';
'ej yeHuDIYpu'vaD ghItlhchaj Holchaj je lulo'.

(10) He had them written in the name of King Aheshverosh and sealed with the king's signet. Letters were dispatched by mounted couriers,

*'aHeSveroS voDleH qabvo' ghItlhmoH ghaH
'ej ngaQmeH voDleH Degh lo'moH.
QIn lulabmeH qengwI'mey lulIghmoHlu'.

(11) to this effect: The king has permitted the Jews of every city to assemble and fight for their lives;
if any people or province attacks them, they may destroy, massacre, and exterminate the armed force together with women and children, and plunder their possessions--

ra' QIn:
ghom Hoch veng yeHuDIYpu'
'ej yInchaj toDmeH SuvtaH
'e' chaw'pu' voDleH;

Qaw' chaH 'ej HoHchu' 'ej HeghmoHqu'
'ej Hoch'e' ghajbogh tlhap
'e' chaw'lu' --

(12) on a single day in all the provinces of King Aheshverosh, namely on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, that is the month of Adar.

'ej wa' jaj neH
