St. Patrick’s Day is on Monday, and Purim isn’t until next Friday, but on Saturday. But on Saturday the 15th, you can celebrate St. Purim’s Day! The Tank, a non-profit, collaborative and affordable performing arts center in New York City is hosting its third annual St Purim’s Day bash. Comic Negin Farsad and comic/blogger Katie Halper (full disclosure: you are reading a post by Katie Halper) will bring you a Jewish a Jewish-Persian rendition of the (Jewish-Persian) story of Purim. (Honestly, this is one of the top 5 Jewish Persian Purim renditions I have ever heard.) Comic lass Fiona Walsh will share Irish comedy, and The Missing Teens will provide live music DJ CRISIS, the DJ in a bunny suit will spin, so you can get your hora-jig on. Because for one night, everyone is JewIrish.

Want to support the Irish Jewish Israel-Palestine Peace Process? Watch Iranian-American Negin and Jewish-American me achieve peace in the Middle East through performing comedy in downtown Manhattan. If, for some reason, that doesn’t work,
and check out Seeds Of Peace, the organization that brings Arab and Israeli teenagers together and works to “reverse the legacy of hatred by nurturing lasting friendships that become the basis for mutual understanding and respect. By training these young leaders in conflict resolution skills, Seeds of Peace helps them become the seeds from which an enduring peace will grow.”
