Purim T Shirts and Gifts

Shalom:

Hope everyone had a fun Tu B’Shevat.

Speaking of fun, the next Holiday on the Jewish calendar is Judaism’s most fun filled-the festival of Purim. Purim begins after sunset on February 23 and ends an hour after sunset on February 24. In Jerusalem, it’s also celebrated on February 25.

We know about Purim from the Book of Esther. Tradition calls for the story to be read twice on Purim from a scroll called the Megillah. It is read at the beginning of the Holiday at night and on the following morning.

On Purim we read the story of beautiful young lady named Esther who, about 2300 years ago,  was chosen by the Persian King, Achashverosh, to be his queen. Although Jewish, she did not reveal her heritage to the king.  The king’s top minister, named Haman, hated the Jews particularly because a Jew named Mordechai, (who unbeknownst to Haman) was Esther’s uncle, refused to bow down to him. Haman got  King Achashverosh to agree to a decree that on a particular day all Jews in the Persian empire were to be killed. Mordechai informed Esther of the decree and, through some fortuitous events, Esther gets the King to change the decree.  The Jews are saved, Haman is hung and Mordechai becomes the King’s top advisor.

Purim is celebrated by giving charity to the poor, exchanging food gifts with friends, being joyous and celebrating with a big Holiday meal.

To celebrate this joyous holiday, it is customary for kids, and often adults,  to dress up in costumes. Here’s a link to a short video  of Purim in Israel.

We don’t sell costumes at JewTee.com. However, we do have funny shirts and hats for those who want to wear Purim garb. We also carry Purim themed gifts to bring to the Purim party host or hostess.

Tu B’Shevat T Shirts and Gifts

Shalom Y’All:

Hope all is well with everyone.

This year Tu B’Shevat, Jewish Arbor Day, New Year For Trees, is on January 26, 2013. To celebrate the day we eat new fruits, or food from the seven species described in the Bible as growing in Israel : wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates.

In Israel, the Holiday is honored by planting trees.

In the 16th century, Kabbalists developed a seder type meal for this day.  At the seder,  the spiritual significance of fruits and of the seven species were discussed. Previously held only in Sephardic communities, today many Ashkenazim have also adopted the Tu B’Shevat seder. The Seder is also celebrated by Jewish environmentalists.

We have a number of t shirts and gifts celebrating this Holiday. Wear them to Tu B’Shevat seders or bring them as gifts.

Here are two of our Jewish Arbor Day designs:
