What’s all this I Hear about “Haman Rights?”

For Purim, Our Guest Commentator… Rabbi Rosanne Rosanna Danna

Why are people so concerned about giving rights to one of the most infamous, ruthless villains in Jewish history? I mean really, who needs “Haman Rights?” Should one have the right to target an entire people for destruction? Should one have the right to build gallows to hang an innocent man (who had also saved the king from dangerous plot? Should one have the right to wear ugly three-cornered hats?

I say “NO.

What? What did you say? It’s not “Haman Rights,” it’s HUMAN rights?

Oh…that’s very different!

NEVER MIND!

HAPPY PURIM!
