We, like everyone else in the Jewish world, 'had' Purim this weekend. I had a wonderful time. Jeremy, did not. He doesn't like Purim. He says this is because he doesn't like the things about Purim that are 'fun'. But I think it's something more significant and important, that can tell us something about the nature of Purim itself.

This is true, there are many things about Purim that I don't like: things like fun, gift-giving and -receiving, drunkenness, dressing up and a general lack of structure. I like structure. I had a lovely time on the Sunday morning at the sedate Kehilat Hadar megillah reading. Not too much fun, just a good service and good reading.
