Purim in Persia : The tombs of Mordechai and Esther

Purim at the tomb of Mordechai and Esther in Iran...

Every year around this time, a charity fund called Vaad HaRabbonim (Rabbinical Committee) puts up notices saying that if you contribute to their fund, they will pray for you at the grave of Mordechai and Esther - the heroes of the Purim story - in Hamedan, Iran.

Unlike most other places where they go to pray for you, I believe that they do not send people to Iran, but rather they have Iranian Jews on site who do the praying. Now, you can join them.

Let's go to the videotape.
You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities
Duet 16:13-14
