First of all, yes 74westy, I (and Zev) stand corrected. It was Goering who killed himself. And it was Goering who was rumored to be a cross dresser. Zev apparently mistook the two, and I, being familiar with the story, didn’t double check the name.
Secondly, I’m not sure what lengths you’re referring to. The year 5707 is commonly written as (תש"ז) (707) It had occurred 6 times, and this was the 6th time. Simple.
Finally, If you choose to believe it’s a coincidence, that’s ok with me. Fact is, Streicher did yell “Purimfest 1946,” and it wasn’t anywhere near Purim. Fact is, those letters had been written in that weird way for two thousand years, and no one knew why. Fact is, Esther made the peculiar request.
As far as I’m concerned, there are no coincidences. But if you think there are, this is not just a coincidence. It’s a huge, unbelievable, incredible coincidence.
As I said, believe what you want.
