[HANASHIR:5327] Re: megillat esther

Janeen,

On second thought...

Are you familiar with the politically-correct fairy tales?  It would be a lot of work, but I think it would be a scream to rewrite the megillah in such a manner.  Some might be offended that it was so...non-offensive, but hey - you're supposed to be offended!

When it's read in Hebrew few understand it.  It is our custom to read it in English ... what I've been sent on a mission for is a "contemporary" translation of esther.  Any ideas out there?
