I am at a loss as to a costume for this year's Purim celebration at my synagogue. I am on a limited budget so this can be difficult. I was going to wear my birthday suit , but it is quite wrinkled. Ideas will be welcomed.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 7:09pmThis is a little off on a tangent, but weren't you going to be having surgery soon? I thought it was going to be coverable by insurance shortly.

Posted: 3/9/06 at 7:35pmPerhaps I could go as Haman or Ahashverous and claim it as the TransPersia theme.

The ONE temple in my town is having to be CLEANED just for Purim. Because it's that deserted.
I'm going to go as a goy with a Jesus t-shirt and WWJD watches all up and down my arm.

Speaking of Purim, a friend of mine invited me over to her house to make hamentashen on Saturday, but I have to go to a bar mitzvah. Missing one Jew-fest for another.
Oy, my temple is probably going to host some stupid party. As my dad's the vice president of our temple, I'm most likely going to be forced against my will to go.

Yenta, use lots of brown paper and go as a bag of groceries. You'll be able to pull it off.

I could wear black and paint my face green and go as Elphaba from WICKED. That show doesn't get enough exposure.

Does your coustume have to be Jewish themed? I'm going to go as pippi longstocking - wearing different colored socks, mismatched old clothes, painting big freckels on my face and putting my hair in pigtails that stand up (with toothpicks!).

Posted: 3/11/06 at 3:31pmI finally made a decision on my costume. The theme in my synagogue for Purim is Beatlemania. I will dress up as a hippie complete with tie dye shirt, beads, peace symbol and long wig with flowers in it.

Posted: 3/11/06 at 4:09pmSounds great, Yenta! I dressed up as a hippie in high school and loved it. In fact, I might do it again this year - I have a few parties to go to, so I can have a few costumes if I want.
