...St. Patrick's Day 1946

Isn't that interesting. That's one of the few that coincided with Purim. The soon-to-be-hanged Nazi named Streicher yelled out "Purimfest 1946!" on October 16, 1946. It was a famous event re the "Purim Code" of Esther chapter 9.

During the gold and silver rush years in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were of Irish and Irish American birth....Over time this association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression 'luck of the Irish.'

"Of course, it carried with it a certain tone of derision, as if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed."

The word "luck" itself is Middle Dutch in origin, according to Mental Floss. The word comes from ‘luc,’ a shortening of ‘gheluc,’ meaning “happiness, good fortune.” The word was probably introduced into the English language in the 15th century as a gambling term.

The Torah is the Big Little Book of Jewish Humor.

Why else would it begin with a big bet?

בראשית

In the beginning Go--

"All Israel --> In the beginning":

Kol Yisrael Bereshith. (Those are the last words of the Torah connected to the beginning.)

An Irishman and a Jew walks (Sing.) into a bar [בר]..

When first recorded, the title of this song was only “Green”. It debuted on Sesame Street on March 10, 1970.

It's not easy bein' green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky...

The.. sages... said that Esther (the hidden star) had a green complexion.. in one sense as a reflection her Jewish name, Hadassah/Myrtle.

GREEN <---> ENER - G:

Green is the color of

L I F E

The capital letter E contains within it three other letters: L, I, and F.

E = L + [I] + F.

ESTHER <---> THREES

An eyelet is a little hole...

“"Open up for me an opening like the eye of a needle and in turn I will enlarge it to be an opening through which wagons can enter."”

Let Me In

Gen 45

27. And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
28. And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die:

The DEW of the Dawn:


Psalm 133

1. A Song of Ma-alot of David; Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity:
2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that runs down upon the beard, Aaron's beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments:
3. Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the Lord has commanded the blessing, LIFE for evermore:

Exo 2

5. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to fetch it:
6. And when she had opened it, she saw the child; and, behold, the baby wept; And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children:
>>>
10. And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son; And she called his name Moses; and she said, Because I drew him out of the water:

Happy St. "Patriarchs" Day...

Drink!

"Beer"-- [בירה] -- like Shushan, it's a capital city.

To: Ezekiel; All
I prefer the original , traditional Irish music with harmonica, flute, accordion, boudran (irish drums),
with the Irish pipes (Uilleann bagpipes) and occasional playing of 'the spoons'(rhythum).
The Irish pipes (Uilleann bagpipes) are played only while sitting, which is why they aren't in any parade.

For a taste of traditional Irish music from Ireland:
