MY SAY: PURIM 2013
Purim begins on the evening of February 23….tomorrow. It is, like so many Jewish holidays, based on our endless history of suffering and harassment, and ultimate triumph and victory. What I find endlessly amazing and comforting is how the Jews have survived centuries of unspeakable oppressions and genocide. But we are still here while other mighty empires have crumbled and disappeared. I leave the explanation of this holiday to my learned and articulate friend Yoram Ettinger whose counsel and optimism and brilliance are of the greatest value to me.
Happy Purim to all. May we enjoy and retell this story for eternity and may the people of the Land of Israel thrive and prosper in peace.
