 The Purim  greetings I fondly recollect was the one my younger brother Ricardo sent me from Jerusalem in 2009. Two young orthodox Jewish children were dressed in Arab costumes of the Ottoman era
This year, as the Globalization and march of technology proceeds at a rapid pace, I received two Purim cards, the above one from La Habana, Cuba

The second one was sent to me by my historian colleague Prof K of Kerala..
The joy of many Jewish children in Brussels and Belgium and Paris and France was marred by what happened in Brussels just the day before Erev Purim..


we do say 
La shanah Haba ah b yerushalayim
Perhaps next Purim, we should all meet in Yerushalayim!
