Ushpizot
27x32, full color, laminated — from Ma'yan, the feminist project of The JCC in Manhattan
$10.00
A great poster celebrating seven women visitors to your sukkah, to go along with the traditional seven men. Comes with a gloss on each of the seven: Sarah, Miriam, Devorah, Hannah, Avigail, Huldah, and Esther.
This poster is an amazing deal, because it is subsidized by a generous grant.
Vashti-Esther Flag
10x13, with wooden stick and small bells attached — from Ma'yan, the feminist project of The JCC in Manhattan
$4.95
On Purim, celebrate two heroines
with flags and gentle bells.
This beautiful and colorful new flag honors the voices and brave deeds of Esther and Vashti, the courageous women in the Purim story. Waved in synagogue when Esther's and Vashti's names are read in the Megillah (Book of Esther), the flag's joyous sound rings out as a counterpoint to the jeering groggers (noisemakers) that are heard when the evil Haman's name is mentioned.
NOTE: These are small, tinkly bells — they will NOT drown out the text, unlike the greggors that are used to drown out he-who-must-not-be-named!
