The Iranians are the ones that better start praying because their punk-slapping is at hand.

I generally refer to Pres. Ahmamadjihadi as "Haman."

Ironic, tommorrow's first reading at daily mass is going to be a reading from the book of Esther.

"Ironic, tommorrow's first reading at daily mass is going to be a reading from the book of Esther."
Not really. The Roman Catholic (and Anglican and Orthodox) church calendars are (very) loosely based on the Jewish year, each in some form or fashion.
The Fast of Esther is tomorrow --- 11 Adar, 5767 (Thu 3/1/2007) and Purim is 14 Adar, 5767 (Sun 3/4/2007).
Lots of hung over Jews monday.

Thanks for the response back. The passage in question is Esther C: 12, 14-16, 23-25. From my Bible, a RC one, it is called the prayer of Esther.

Also during the Christian Lent, different readings of the Jewish scriptures are read in regards to what in my church is called salvation history or the people who are a part of.

I believe that prayer to be a later-time addition to the Book.
Esther is (in the Hebrew version) one of only two books of the Bible that do not directly mention God (the other is Song of Songs). It is the only book of the Tanakh that is not represented among the Dead Sea scrolls. It has often been compared to the first half of the Book of Daniel and to the deuterocanonical Books of Tobit and Judith for its subject matter.
Additions to Esther
An additional six chapters appear interspersed in Esther in the Septuagint, the Greek translation, which then was noted by Jerome in compiling the Latin Vulgate; additionally, the Greek text contains many small changes in the meaning of the main text.
The extra chapters include several prayers to God, perhaps because it was felt that the above-mentioned lack of mention of God was inappropriate in a holy book. Jerome recognized them as additions not present in the Hebrew Text and placed them at the end of his Latin translation as chapters 10:4-16:24. However, some modern Roman Catholic English Bibles restore the Septuagint order, such as Esther in the NAB.

To: dervish
Turns out that "Ahmadinejad" contains all the letters of "Haman." In English, at least.
I'm impressed. Other than the ZOA, all the organizations listed are ultra-liberal and probably don't even celebrate Purim.

Can non-Jews join you in your prayers?
