[stylist] a poem

[Judith Bron]

Purim usually falls in March.  Sometimes in February.  Like Lori said, the 
calendar is lunar so dates change every year.  The holiday of Sukkot has 
nothing to do with Purim and is always in September or October.  Judith

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.
