It would also be nice if millions of Christians would pray that muslims around the world would take Jesus into their hearts. When Ann Coulter said to convert them all to Christianity, she proposed the only real answer to peace in this world.

I now await the NY Times story on this... It would read,
Israel plans first strike against peaceful Iranians.

The evil Persian ruler is back. Haman Jr. is threatening the same horror against the Jewish people.
Prayers for the quick downfall of entire Iranian terrorist exporting régime's.
Recall the fate of the first evil Haman :)

"Why are they supposed to get drunk?"
Because we are directed to so celebrate in the last Chapter of Esther. It's a party to celebrate God's deliverance and faithfulness.

Supportive prayers. Today the first reading is about Esther in prayer at the daily mass.

Because it's a huge celebration and party. There are carnivals and people dress in costume, eating poppy seed filled treats like hamantashen (triangular cookies) and drinking alcoholic beverages.
In synagogue the book of Esther is read, and children are given noisemakers so they can boo Haman and cheer Mordechai.
Think of it as a sort of Jewish Mardi Gras in appearance, but, obviously, not for the same reasons. :)

"...Purim starts on Saturday evening..."So, Sat evening is, say, 7:00 PM, Tel Aviv time, and that's what, 11:00 AM, EST?
So add 7 hours to take it to 2:00AM T-A time, and that'll be 6:00 PM EST.
So President Bush has to call a quicky-news-conference at 5:30 PM, EST, to announce the start of the eradication bombing of Persia.
Works for me! Time enough to take the cars over to 7-11 and top 'em up.

Well that sounds like fun! I wish we did that at our church (after all, we do passover seders!). Plus I have always loved the Esther story, ever since I had it as a flannel board lesson in the church basement during lent....wonder how long ago *that* was? ;-)

Doesn't matter - Jewish holidays start at sundown - wherever you happen to be, so sundown in Jerusalem is not sundown in Los Angeles.
There's also a "need to see three stars with once glance" rule, but I'm not sure how often that's adhered to among the non-Orthodox. I've never figured out how that works on a cloudy night anyway.
Also, up until sundown (where sundown occurs in your locale), it will still be the Sabbath, which takes precedence.
Cheers,
Maven

I wonder if you use my Haggadah for your seders - I wrote one back in 1994 called "The Simple Seder," which was in English and transliterated Hebrew (no Hebrew alef bet knowledge required). It was a big seller at churches because it was very explanatory and not terribly long or complicated, and, of course, it was mostly in English. I even threw in some recipes.
Hmm - maybe I should reissue it....

"...Doesn't matter - Jewish holidays start at sundown - wherever you happen to be, so sundown in Jerusalem is not sundown in Los Angeles..."Right! I looked it up - EST is + 7 hrs on Tel Aviv, and + 8&1/2 hrs on Tehran.
So when it's 7:00 PM in Tel Aviv, it's NOON in the EST zone. So, if the bombing commences at 3:30 AM, Tehran time, the announcement from Washington happens at 7:00 PM, EST.
Just gettin' it right ........... FRegards
