The Proposition: A Day of No Talk day of "fasting". But abstinence was not from food. It was from speaking. For an, entire day they abstained from communicating with each other and devoted themselves Instead to prayer — communication with God. Even the community rabbi joined his congregation. This kind of self-affliction is not easy and may, perhaps, be psychologically more difficult than refraining from food. The idea has much to commend it, however. Consider what it would mean if this kind of discipline could be universally observed in Israel — even if only for one day.
HAIFA - Jews wbo come to Israel from the scattered corners of the world bring with them also the customs and folkways which, arc unique to their communities. Many of these customs seem strange to us - a s indeed ours appear peculiar to them. Yet many of the exotic traditions have much merit to them.

The mind boggles at thought of what influence such silence and contemplation might have on the thought processes of many who are inclined to talk first and think later.

More use of electricity in the winter would balance OPPD's system, improve efficiency, and help keep the cost of electricity down. Much of OPPD's7system isn't used during the winter; yet, it's essential during the hot summer air-conditioning months when consumption is uj>. Increased use of electricity during the colder months — electric heating, for example — would put more of the District's electrical system to work and additional revenue would be gained. This revenue would help pay expenses that exist whether the equipment operates or not. Such expenditures include the initial cost of the equipment and regular maintenance costs. . "••:..,* We believe electric heat is the best way to heat your home or business. Today, there are nearly 11,000 OPPD customers enjoying the comforts of electric heat; OPPD is capable of generating enough electricity to heat an additional 40,000 homes. Electric heat helps solve the nation's energy supply problem, too. Using electricity OPPD generates from,this nation's abundant fuel sources — coal and uranium — saves our nation's shrinking supplies of oil and natural gas. And use of electric heat helps balance our system and keep the cost, of electricity down.

ANSWER: Tradltiona!ist5 offer a variety of reasons for this practice. Some claim that this Is done because Jews who were basically religious Inwardly seemed to appear like Persian idolaters outwardly. In front of their Persian neighbors, especially at the King's feast, they seemed to masquerade as fellow Persians.' ,, _. Likewise, the Almiihtv M<\on\<trA hia micJQS the sayior-lnwardliLsa^ that the events of PuFlm seem to look like an ordinary' &veiopmcnfln~ the affairs of men while the Almighty was directing the sequence trom a hidden vantage point. This is one of the reasons why the name of God does not appear in the Mcgillah. In a similar vein some commentaries, derive this practice from a vetie In the Bible (Deuleronomy Chapter 3D where the Almighty threatens "I«!!! hide my face". To commemorate the events, which at first seemed as If tea Almighty was concealing his presence behind the stage ofhlstory, Jews hide their (aces behind masks on Purlni. A third apUa&Uaa {or tils practice relates it to the original C O B of hailed between a Jew end his brother. Jacob teemed to turn tocomd

Jews maEqucrade In order to show that sometimes, in the course of events, masquerading is fully justified In order to acquire something which is rightfully ours: Apparently, there seemed to have been tome objection to this practice since we find Rabbi Moses Isserlcs (Commentary toShulchan Aruch. Orach Chayyim 696:8) stating that there is no prohibition against it as long as other forbidden behaviorisms are' not Involved. . ' . . • •
