And Purim is such a great theme for that section. It's a holiday that celebrates the defeat of someone who was determined to all Jews. Seems appropriate in that circumstance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-4636651735319174092014-05-06T12:52:37.792+01:002014-05-06T12:52:37.792+01:00Moira, I'm with Col.

"The Sound of Music" may have been a lovely musical with a happy ending but one can't imagine what the real von Trapp family went through. Thanks for a fine review.Prashant C.
