Hello everyone,

One of the next Jewish festivals is Purim. The book of Esther introduces 
this feast with one of the main characters/heroes being Mordecai who helped 
reverse a death sentence against the Jews. His name means "worshipper of 
Mars" or "little man." Neither one of these definitions ever seemed to fit 
as far as I was concerned, but if we take "worshipper of Mars" and change 
it to "worshipper of the god of war" (Mars is considered the god of war) 
then it makes Israel's Defense Minister, Yitzhak Mordechai, seem to be an 
intriguing figure. Coincidence?

Bye,
Moza
