The holiday is celebratedevery year by most Jews on

the 14th (others on the 15th)of the Hebrew month ofAdar, or late winter/earlyspring.

The story begins in thefourth century B.C. in Persiaafter the Babylonian de-struction of the Temple inJerusalem and the resultingexile of Jews. Esther is cho-sen to marry King Ahasu-erus of Persia, ruler of thecivilized world, who did notknow his new bride wasJewish.

Her cousin, Mordechai,was a particular target ofthe anti-Semitic Prime Min-ister Haman, who per-suaded the king to issue adecree ordering the exter-mination of all the Jews onthe 13th of Adar.

Fearful, Esther informedthe king that she was Jewish

and requested that her peo-ple be spared.

The king, realizing thatMordechai was never re-warded for once saving hislife, ordered Haman behanged on the same gallowsthat Haman built for Morde-chai.

The king also gave Estherand Mordechai permissionto write a new decree thatgranted the Jews permissionto defend themselves againsttheir enemies.

On the 13th of Adar thatyear, the Jews throughoutthe Persian Empire mobi-lized and killed the enemieswho had planned to killthem.

On the 14th of Adar, mostJews worldwide celebrated,with residents of walled cit-ies killing more enemies on

the 14th and celebrating onthe 15th.

�Mordechai was favoredby the king for uncoveringan assassination plot,�Rabbi Rosenblum said. �It isan example of a little detailthat happens when it needsto. This is what happens toall of us.�

Chabad of the SouthHills is a Jewish outreach,educational and social ser-vice organization at 1701McFarland Road, Mt. Leba-non. Chabad is an acronymin Hebrew for wisdom, un-derstanding and knowl-edge.

Rabbi Rosenblum, who isthe synagogue�s executivedirector and 16-year co-founder with his wife,Batya, said there is no mem-bership in the typical sense,

but that at any given time300 families actively partici-pate.

The suggested donationfor the Purim festival is $18per family.

Sandy Spence returnsto her �glass roots� here

By Kathleen Ganster

Sandra �Sandy� Spencehas come full circle whenshe recently agreed to serveon the board of directors atthe Mount Pleasant GlassMuseum. After all, she said,�Glass is in my genes.�

Ms. Spence is the grand-daughter of Cedric SpenceSr. and daughter of CedricSpence Jr., who both oper-ated L.E. Smith Glass Co. inMount Pleasant. The Spencefamily operated L.E. Smithwith the Wible family.

As a young girl, Ms.Spence loved going to thefactory with her father. Hewas head of quality controland would oversee the in-spection and packing of theglass products.

Mr. Spence, a chemist,also invented pieces and theglass color bittersweet or-ange.

�I personally thought itwas really ugly � it was sortof like an orange milk glass,�she said.

Because of the color�s pop-ularity, other glass compa-nies came up with similarcolors and pieces as thoseproduced at L.E. Glass, buther father didn�t share theformula for his orange glass.

�My dad said that everyglass man takes a secret to

the grave and that was his,�Ms. Spence said.

Ms. Spence followed herparents� footsteps and at-tended Allegheny College.She also obtained her mas-ter�s degree from RutgersUniversity. Now 73, retiredand living in Delaware, Ms.Spence had a varied careerworking at several organiza-tions and companies includ-ing: the Appalachian Re-gional Commission, the Na-tional Association of Coun-ties, the California Depart-ment of Transportation andthe National Railroad Pas-senger Corp. She also did po-litical campaign work untilshe founded The SpenceGroup in 1985.

�[The Spence Group was]

an association managementfirm that served severalsmall, volunteer-driven as-sociations,� she said.

In 1992, Ms. Spence de-cided to sell her companyand return to her roots.

�I wanted to work for anassociation that was affili-ated with glass,� she said.During her research, she dis-covered the Society of Glass& Ceramic Decorators. Shewas hired as their executivedirector and served thereuntil she retired in 2000.

Over the years, Ms.Spence collected over 100pieces of black glass, some-thing L.E. Smith was wellknown for, and numerousother pieces.

When she was downsiz-ing, Ms. Spence donated herblack glass collection to theMount Pleasant Glass Mu-seum. That caught the atten-tion of Cassandra Vivian,board president and directorof the museum.

�Because of the L.E.Smith history and contribu-tion to this area and the glassindustry, and this generousdonation, I knew we wantedher on the board,� Ms. Viv-ian said.
