How could anyone in #MedinatAmerica not know what #Purim is when it’s allll around them??

Purim products take up several aisles in every store weeks ahead of the #HolidaySeason;

Every TV series has a Purim special;

Every radio station plays nonstop Purim music since Tu B’Shvat;

Every #PublicSchool hosts Purim assemblies and each class has a Purim party (and Purim coloring pages);

Every city has pop-up Purim costume stores in;

Every bakery, cafe, and grocery sells hamantashen.

@jewwhohasitall @BikeyBike The "Purim everywhere" environment you describe is not the case everywhere in America. It's not even the case in every urban neighborhood.

@DavidDvorkin @jewwhohasitall @BikeyBike Pst: Jew who has it all is a parody account, who satirizes Christian normativity by imagining an America where Judaism is as hegemonic as Christianity is in the real world.

The original question is parodying Christians asking Jews and other non Christians how we celebrate Easter or Christmas (largely speaking we don't)

@DavidDvorkin @BikeyBike

How could that be the case when Purim is such a fun, All-American, TOTALLY secular holiday!?

@jewwhohasitall @DavidDvorkin @BikeyBike and it's so OBVIOUSLY secular, too! Hashem isn't even *mentioned* in the story!
