    I have heard it said (no I do NOT know who said it or where that person got semichah) but where was I? Oh yes, anyway, I have heard it said that we should mix it up and say instead “Have a Kosher Purim,” and “Have a Freilichen Pesach,” instead of the opposite. Purim should be Kosher and Pesach should be Joyous.

    We wish you a Merry Purim. We wish you a Merry Purim. We wish you a Merry Purim. And a Happy Paysach.

    Principle – Always a Noun. Never an adjective, adverb, or any other part of speech. If you can’t replace it with the word “idea,” you’re using it incorrectly.

    Principal – Noun or Adjective. As a noun, used for the main person or main part of something. The principal of a school, the principal of a loan, the principals involved in a business transaction.

    You could correctly talk about the “principal principle,” which could in context refer to the “main idea,” or the “central theme” of a set of beliefs or of a written exposition of thought. “The local Orthodox Jewish rabbi asserted that the principal principle underlying the Beyond BT blog is to support and assist BaaleiTeshuvah and Geirim in their quest for a true Jewish life.”
