[etni] OT: Purim on the J Site and 95 Purim Hotsites

Hi Everyone!

Purim, the fun-filled Jewish holiday, falls on the
14th of the Hebrew month of Adar. This year Purim
begins Monday night March 13, 2006.
(In Jerusalem, it is usually celebrated one day later.)

The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment 
http://www.j.co.il

has several entertaining features for Purim:

Purim Trivia
Why do people eat poppy seeds on Purim ? 
From what tribe was Mordecai ? 
Why was Haman angry at Mordechai ? 
Who was queen of Persia before Esther ? 
Esther had another name, what was it ? 
How many times is Haman's name mentioned in the megillah ? 
What did the king do when he couldn't sleep ? 
What does the word "Esther" mean ? 
How many advisors did king Achashverosh have ? 

The above questions are examples from the multiple choice 
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings.
Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable.

Purim Clipart
Whether you need a picture to attach to your "Mishloach Manot",
a picture for your child's class project, a graphic for your 
synagogue, Hillel or JCC Purim announcement, the Jewish Clipart 
Database has the pictures for you. 
You can copy, save and print the graphics in three different sizes. 

Multilingual Hangman - Purim
It's the classic Hangman game recreated in an online Flash version. 
If you expect your simple "hang the man by the rope" drawing then 
you are in for a surprise. The game can be played in English or 
Hebrew. 

Purim Word Search Game
Enter the Multilingual Word Search game and choose the
language you would like to play in: English, Hebrew or
Russian. There is an easy mode for the kids and a harder
mode for us big kids. Learning Purim words has never
been more fun. Each game is randomly generated from a 
special list of Purim words. You can even print out a 
blank game (and the solution page) for offline playing. 

My Jewish Coloring Book - Purim Pictures
Young kids love to draw and this online coloring book
is made just for them. Three different size "brushes"
and 24 colors to choose from. You can print the completed
color pictures or print black and white outlines to color 
offline. No need to go buy a coloring book this Purim.

Hebrew Purim Songs with Vowels (Nikud)
Enter My Hebrew Songbook and choose the category Purim.
You can view any song online or create a printed song sheet 
with several songs together for a sing along. All Hebrew is 
graphic so you do not need Hebrew support to view or print 
the songs. 

The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not 
enough, there are now 95 Purim links on my holiday hotsites.
The sites have everything ranging from laws and customs to 
games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, 
Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese and German.
All 95 links have been reviewed / checked over the past week.
The address is:

Enjoy!

Please forward this message to relatives and friends, 
so they may benefit from these holiday resources.

An early Happy Purim!
Jacob
