Esther's celebration is Purim, which occurs in March.   Look at that one as 
our Halloween, but it commemorates Esther's saving of the Jewish people 
from certain death.

This is the feast of booths right now.   That is a harvest festival 
(October, or thereabouts).   Our calendar is lunar, with leap months seven
times 
every nineteen years.   I was born in a leap month, so I haven't had as many

birthdays in the Hebrew calendar as you might think.
