| Haman's Ears |
As for the weather, it was dull and cloudy. Also cold. The ground is always wet and slippery. But the people are coming out of their homes and the markets are back to its normal crowded noisy atmosphere.

Haman's ears
Another exhausting day ... woke up at 3am to prepare for classes. Then it was this work and that work. Didn't have time to finish the cleaning of my room that began yesterday. Finally had some time to rest at noon ... only to be woken up several times by phone calls. All emergencies ... someone's kids in hospital for operation, someone needed medicine because of cancer ... so I had to run around the City buying medicine, updating on the situations of the poor who are being sponsored by your generosity. All are in the care of Mother Teresa's sisters.
Purim begins on Thursday ... but already in bakeries, eateries and supermarkets the festive cookies are selling like hotcakes. It's Haman's Ears - Haman being the Persian enemy who tried to slaughter the Jews in Persia but failed due to the bravery of Jewish Queen Esther. Read her book. The cookies are baked with dates or some other sweet sweet filling. Nice stuff - bad for diabetes.
