Oh, how merry we will be...

So it is a tradition on the holiday of Purim to get so drunk that one is not able to visually discern the difference between the Hebrew words for "cursed be Haman" and "blessed be Mordecai." Here's a description from the folks at Aish:

The key of this rabbinic injunction is that we should reach a point of "lo yada" -- we do not know, only God does. This is similar to the way the Jewish people showed trust in God at Mount Sinai, stating, Na'aseh V'Nishma -- we will do and listen to whatever God commands, because we trust and know that He has our best interests at heart. So too did the Jews of Purim express the realization that there is only one Being who we can truly and fully trust, and that is God.

I noticed this today on my synagogue's website (take a look at the entries for 7--the Megillah reading for Purim--and 7:30, highlighted with red to represent the blood used to make hamantaschen, of course).
