And that is how I feel about “feeding the hungry” in the US.
The Nuremberg executions took place on 16 October 1946, shortly after the conclusion of the Nuremberg trials. Ten prominent members of the political and military leadership of Nazi Germany were executed by hanging: Hans Frank, Wilhelm Frick, Alfred Jodl, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, Alfred Rosenberg, Fritz Sauckel, Arthur Seyss-Inquart, and Julius Streicher. Hermann Göring was also scheduled to be hanged on that day, but committed suicide using a potassium cyanide capsule the night before.
"Purimfest 1946!"
NurembergGaol, Germany
16 October 1946
International News Service...Julius Streicher made his melodramatic appearance at 2:12 a.m.
While his manacles were being removed and his bare hands bound, this ugly, dwarfish little man, wearing a threadbare suit and a well-worn bluish shirt buttoned to the neck but without a tie (he was notorious during his days of power for his flashy dress), glanced at the three wooden scaffolds rising menacingly in front of him...If Haman's ten sons had already been killed, how could they hanged?

Purim -- History Repeats Itself

WORLD FOOD DAY
World Food Day is held every year on October 16th. On this day, more than 150 countries unite to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poverty and hunger.
The Gemara (Chullin 139b) asks, “Where is there an allusion to Haman in the Torah? As it is written (Bereishis 3:11), ‘Have you perhaps eaten from the Tree (Ha-min ha-eitz) from which I told you not to eat?… ” The word Ha-min (“perhaps from”) is spelled (in Hebrew) with the same letters as Haman. At first inspection, this appears to be a simple play on words. Upon reflection, however, we will find that there is more to this “simple allusion” than meets the eye.
Haman [המן]
As a stand-alone word (i.e. no ifs, ands, or buts), המן appears 47x in the Tanakh. 38x in the Megillah (as Haman), and 9 preceeding: 3x as the "from the" construction, and 6x as...
ha-man, the manna.
When the Manna Ceased to Fall
The manna fell for the 40 years that the Israelites were in the desert, ending following Moses' death when they entered the land.23
23. Joshua 5:12. There are varying traditions regarding how long after Moses' passing the Israelites continued to eat the manna -- whether for 40 days, 70 days, or for the 14 years during the conquering and dividing of the land of Canaan (which would mean that the Israelites ate the manna for a total of 54 years), as per Mechilta d'Rabbi Yishmael, Exodus 16:35.
As for the tradition noted on Chabad's calendar, 40 days, landing on the 16th day of the 1st month, even as the 8th is 1st, one level up (weeks, octaves, and who knows 50..):
Nissan 16 (Omer Day 1)
Jewish History
Sodom Overturned
Manna Ends
Esther Appears Before Achashverosh
Levi Born
On the 16th of Nissan of the year 2488 from creation (1273 BCE), six days after the Children of Israel entered the Holy Land under the leadership of Joshua, their remaining supply of the miraculous "bread from heaven," which had sustained them since shortly after their exodus from Egypt 40 years earlier, ran out. (The manna had ceased falling on the previous Adar 7, the day of Moses' passing.) After bringing the "Omer" offering (see "Counting of the Omer" in Laws & Customs for yesterday, Nissan 15) at the Sanctuary they erected at Gilgal, the people prepared their (unleavened) bread for the first time from the produce of the land.
Then as it turns out, the word for [Haman's] gallows is the same as the (ה) tree, "etz" [עץ].
And then as it turns out, the first place "evil"/רע appears in the Torah, is in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil:
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Some people just can't resist. "You are what you eat."
And the first place המן appears, is in that certain tree:
Genesis 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the [המן] tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Embarrassing! If Adam hadn't have been tipped off by a bad report (Pssst, just so you know..), why would it have occurred to them to hide?
Haman built his own gallows, the 50-cubit high tree that he had intended for that other guy, Mordecai, who would not bow to him.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
Hast thou eaten of the tree...
The verb "eaten" is at the very end of the verse. Therefore the wording is:
you of the tree [אתה המן העץ], which is to say
YOU -- HAMAN -- THE TREE
And then as it turns out, that adds up to 666, the quintessential numeric representation of evil.
In verse 3:11, and 311 = ish [איש], "man".
It's like that little game of HANGMAN. HAMAN & Sons are simply unable to guess the right letters because never in a million years would they suspect that they are NO GOOD (NG) *inside* (bad seed), even though it's the very name of the game:
HANGMAN
HANGMAN
HANGMAN
Purimfest, 1946? It was a specific mixed date that had already happened 213 days earlier.
Aka Saint Patrick's Day.
Drink!
World Food Day is held every year on October 16th... to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poverty and hunger.
October 16th in non-leap years is day 289, good (17, טוב) squared.
