Some say "Yea" and the more conservative say "Nay," or rather "you'll got to hell if you do." Interesting to see how similar religions are both in the issues they raise, and in the inconsistency of their followers.

The hamantashan resemble the vulva, and Esther/Ishtar and Mordecai/Marduk reign. This is a common archetype.
