Purim Celebration

Cheri Goldstein

Purim is probably the most festive of all
the Jewish holidays in the year. It cel-
ebrates the triumph of the Jews over Ha-
men’s evil plot to annihilate them. Mor-
dechai and Queen Esther join forces,
using disguised identities to foil Hamen
through his pride.

Since deception and disguise are so
much a part of this story, it has become
traditional for the Purim celebration to
be done in costume. As the traditions
have evolved many men have dressed as
Queen Esther and women as King Ha-
men or Mordechai. Now doesn’t this
sound like a party atmosphere perfect
for our community?

So once again the gay and lesbian Jew-
ish community and friends will be gath-
ering in celebration of ourselves, our
history, and Purim. We will be cel-
ebrating on Saturday, March 21, 1992,
at Moonstorm Farm in Worcester, VT.
Costumes are not required but are sug-
gested. Call Cheri or Holly at 229-0109
for details and directions. V

Lesbian Educators

The Lesbian Educators group is growing.
Begun last spring in the home of the or-
ganizer, the most recent meeting this fall
was attended by 16 people from around
the state. Lynn Goyette, representing Out-
right Vermont, spoke about a recent
meeting with the State Department of Ed-
ucation to plan a spring conference on the
topic of homophobia in the schools.
Those in attendance made suggestions
about future plans for this conference,.
The next meeting will be held on Feb-
ruary 2 at the Unitarian Church in Mont-
pelier from 3-5 p.m. Our discussion will
focus on sexual harassment in the work
place (specifically schools). For more in-
formation call Margaret at (802) 879-
6559. Check the calendar section of
017' M for future meetings. V
