It goes something like this: "They tried to kill us, we survived, now let's eat!" This can be heard at the table at many of the Jewish dinners of my friends and family. Purim is one of those festive occasions that is more of a national celebration than a religious tenor. Purim is a celebration of the deliverance of the Jewish people from the Persian Empire. Haman concocted a plot to destroy all of the Jews in his empire. Thankfully, the plot was foiled and the people escaped. The story is written down in the biblical account of Esther. The traditions of Purim are joyful in nature. According to the book of Esther, to celebrate this holiday you need to adhere to the following customs: listen to the daily reading (from the book of Esther on this day), send food gifts to friends, give charity to the poor, and have a festive meal. These are the obligations of Purim. How could that be anything BUT a joyful holiday? Purim gift baskets are now a traditional part of the celebration.chocolate covered pretzels]]> candy gifts]]> kosher candy]]> dried fruit and nuts]]> bulk dried fruit]]> Purim gift baskets]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Purim-And-Candy-Gifts/3667292 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:50:07 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Purim-And-Candy-Gifts/3667292 THE TAJ MAHAL IT IS A NOSE OF INDIA Taj Mahal, the magnificent monument that stands at the heart of India has a story that has been melting the hearts of millions of listeners since the time Taj has been visible. A story, that although ended back in 1631, continues to live on in the form of Taj and is considered a living example of eternal love. It's the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal, two people from the course of history who set an example for the people living in present and the future to come. An English poet, Sir Edwin Arnold best describes it as "Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passion of an emperor's love wrought in living stones." The story that follows next will prove why the statement is true. Shah Jahan, initially named Prince Khurram, was born in the year 1592. He was the son of Jehangir, the fourth Mughal emperor of India and the grandson of Akbar the Great.hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Taj-Mahal-It-Is-A-Nose-Of-India/3666848 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:54:23 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-The-Taj-Mahal-It-Is-A-Nose-Of-India/3666848 hotels in agra]]> budget hotels in agra]]> agra hotels]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-Taj-Mahal-The-Symbol-Of-Eternal-Love/3666844 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:52:51 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/-Taj-Mahal-The-Symbol-Of-Eternal-Love/3666844 The cuisine of India has been very influenced by all the civilizations that have been predominant throughout its history and colonized the country.

A traditional form of clothing for over 1,000 years, the caftan has remained largely unchanged in its shape and form over time. What has both evolved and changed with the cultures that used them during these periods of time, are the patterns and designs that have been popular. In its most basic, pervasive form, which has been in use both today and over the centuries, the caftan is a long flowing garment that has long sleeves, and is ankle length. The caftan in original form was made of either silk or cotton and was usually worn with a belt or sash around the waist. It is similar to what is known as a khalat, which is a silk or cotton robe. However, the caftan does not have an open front, and is slipped over the head. Although the exact origin of the caftan remains buried in the sands of time, it appears that it was first recorded in Persia and Russia. In fact, the root of the word caftan comes from a Persian word.Camilla Caftans]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Be-Both-Modern-And-Ancient-At-The-Same-Time-With-Camilla-Caftans/3650381 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:21:00 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Be-Both-Modern-And-Ancient-At-The-Same-Time-With-Camilla-Caftans/3650381 The kaftan evokes romantic, mythical images of a bygone era in a faraway land, the Middle East. Possibly influenced by epic movies such as Lawrence of Arabia, the fascination with that region of the world continues unabated through today. The word kaftan itself conjures up all sorts of images of desert sand dunes, galloping camels, secluded oases and night time stars filling the sky with thousands of brilliant lights. And the kaftan itself has a long and glorious history. Kaftans have been worn for literally thousands of years. They were originally, and remain to this day, a variation of a robe or tunic, which has been popular with countless cultures over the centuries, and have been depicted very often in Islamic artwork. Although the name is derived from a Persian word describing this type of tunic, it wasn't commonly worn in ancient Persia, where it was reserved for special occasions, as a robe of honour. The kaftan arguably had its greatest popularity at the height of the Ottoman Empire, which lasted for hundreds of years. These robes were particularly popular with the sultans that ruled the Ottoman Empire who wore them habitually in court.Camilla Kaftans]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Enjoy-Great-Comfort-And-A-Touch-Of-The-Middle-East-With-Camilla-Kaftans/3650284 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 07:41:33 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Enjoy-Great-Comfort-And-A-Touch-Of-The-Middle-East-With-Camilla-Kaftans/3650284 Manchester Deals]]> Daily Deals]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Valentine-S-Day-For-Less/3649848 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:35:18 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Valentine-S-Day-For-Less/3649848 Pomegranate is a fruit bearing deciduous shrub and it grows between five and eight meters tall.

Robert Frederick Foster, a recognized authority on games and an author of several books on the subject, noted within a 1937 edition of Foster's Complete Hoyle (a comprehensive book on games) that the game of poker was undoubtedly the Persian game "as nas." Modern gaming historians argue this and advise that poker must be originated from different games, with many making claims that it must be the descendant of the Italian (or Spanish?) game "primero" or the French game "Brelan." No matter what the origin of the game, even before you consider playing it, you need to learn poker first. The overall game of poker might have different origins, however nowadays, one thing is definite: it truly is one of the main popular and most enjoyable games in the world.
