What god sport it is to pick up the dailies on April 1 and try
to spot the April Fool’s joke. Not always easy given much of
the real news these days.
But what many readers may not know is that the Jewish world
has its own traditions of leg-pulling with the festival of
Purim and the so-called Purim Speil.
For years, the JC has been bemusing readers with weird and
wonderful tales of the unexpected and unsubstantiated, all
taken in good heart by a readership that understands and
respects them.
The problem theses days though is that, given the speed with
which news moves online, this can happen.
As for the Royals, they could probably do with some
multicultural training. No-one at the Palace go it - and no
one was amused.
