Purim: The Jewish Halloween

by Sala Levin As Purim approaches, and with it the opportunity to impress your friends with the wittiness and originality of your costume. Or--if you're like this blogger--the opportunity to take a look in your closet, decide you're not nearly clever enough for this particular holiday, and celebrate instead with a Jewish cocktail. But don't despair yet, costume-less readers, because, when it comes to Purim, we take our cues from Theodor Herzl: If you will it, it is no dream.
