Purim is Coming
Purim is a holiday in which we read the Book of Esther (twice, once at night, once during the day), give charity to the poor, share food baskets with friends, wear costumes (at least many of the kids do and a few brave adults) and eat a feast in the afternoon. My daughter made this drawing yesterday to put on oatmeal containers that will be given to her friends (see last year’s decorated containers).
Can you name any of the characters in her drawing? Here is the Book of Esther.

Robin from Israel says
Heehee, Mordechai looks like an old boss of mine LOL!
Decorated containers of oatmeal is a great gift idea, and your daughter's drawing will set them off so nicely :).
Carletta says
Your daughter is quite a little artist. I love the beard. :)
When you mentioned the containers I thought I remembered your post from last year.
I love that your children care so much about others.
Kim says

The artist has captured an important moment. She obviously remembers the fun of the costumes as a participant. Your daughter has picked up her talent from her mom, and her imagination is wonderful!
Mirage says
Sweet! Esther and Mordecai...very good story, great drawing!
leoraw says
Great! Now I'm wondering if anyone can identify some of the background characters.
Jew Wishes says
Esther and Mordecai...very distinct, indeed!
I enjoy her artwork...like mom, like daughter.
leoraw says
Wish I had more time to do art. I should stick my cardinal drawing downstairs and get started on it.
felisol says
I love the book of Esther.
It's exciting lie a crime novel with a fair and happy ending.
Your daughter's drawing is just so artistic and colorful, and queen Esther as beautiful and nobel looking as she once must have been.
Wish you a happy Purim celebration.
Jim says
Leora, thanks for the reminder, I need to return the Vegie Tales Ester video to the library. Being a prof really ruined me on returning library stuff.
Your daughter draws good looking pictures. This one is soooooo nice! Where did she learn?
Happy RT!

Wonderful drawing. I love the costumes.

Your daughter is a fabulous artist - she takes after you, yes?
leoraw says
Hopefully, she will continue to do art! I guess I am "living" through her art at the present. Wish I did more.

your daughter is truly talented.
Louis la Vache says
Re your cardinal drawing - YES! We look forward to seeing the finished work!
«Louis» thinks it's great encouragement for your daughter's ability as an artist that you share her work with the readers of your blog.
The book of Esther is Mme la Vache's favorite in the Bible. «Louis» will make sure she sees this post.
