The great thing about purim is that you don't have to worry about pronouncing the bad guys names correctly. Like. Why should we care if you say their names wrong. Hell, we explicitly blot out haman's (BOO) name.

Which is honestly great because I was invited to read a portion of the book of esther yesterday and was sooo worried about sounding stupid

#jumblr #jew by choice #jewish conversion #purim #personal thoughts tag #we read it out after services and i'm still reeling from it #especially how petty haman (boooooooo) was. fifty cubits high??? bro. settle tf down.#chill out. drink a 7 Up. eat a moonpie. quit murdering jews. like. 😐😐😐#but i'm still blown away with how much i love my shul members. they're so cool.#also so many of them have such nice readong voices??? like that's a weird compliment but i like when they read torah portions #because they are clear to understand and have very nice intonation and whatnot #with the 'chill out' tag i just... i can't take their characters seriously. like. chill the FUCK OUT.#i hope it's clear that i'm making fun of their characters as people and not the terror they sought to bring
