      Mori (Rabbi) Michael Shelomo Bar-Ron, from Beth Midrash Ohel Moshe, and author of the book, " Guide for the Noahide ",  joins Tamar and explains where the non-Jewish custom of 'dressing up' on Purim came from, -and you won't like it!!!!  However, Torah law comes first, and he reminds us all that during our long Exile from the Holy Land, we may have adopted customs from the nations of the world that we should not have. You will not look at the costumes for Purim the same way!  Watch his video here.

      Tamar Yonah is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor.  Her father survived the Nazi brutalities and after liberation, made his way to the shores of the British Palestine Mandate, where again fighting for his survival, fought in Israel's war of Independence. This made a great impression on her life and she too has been fighting for Israel by serving in the Israeli army & air force, and afterwards by becoming an activist for Israel and the Jewish nation. She has been a vocal beacon of light since beginning a prolific career in radio. She hosts The Tamar Yonah Show - Israel's most popular English language radio talk show.  She also writes a biting and sometimes humorous, award winning blog that discusses current events, religion and politics. www.israelnationalnews.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/3#   You can email Tamar at: Tamar@IsraelNationalRadio.com
