Each Purim, we celebrate the incredible resilience of the Nation of Israel.
Israel may not be mentioned in Megillat Esther, but the Purim tale reminds us that miracles are all around us, from the victory of the Jews in Shushan to the modern State of Israel.
This Purim, let us seek out the wondrous in the everyday, and marvel at a nation that has defied all odds and now thrives in its ancient homeland.
L'chaim to Esther, Mordechai and all of Am Yisrael! |
Yada Yada Yada: Ad Lo Yada?

Liminality and Purim
The real goal of Purim is to flip our routine, our inhibitions, our egos, our judgments on their heads. And maybe, just maybe, when we are all upside down, the illusions of barriers that separate us will fall away we will be able to see the hidden sparks of light in every one.

Amir's Mitzvah Project
In the US, it is common for b'nei mitzvah to do a "mitzvah project," but we wanted to take it further than that. For his main project, the one we would ask all of our guests to help us with at his bar mitzvah celebration, Amir decided to send Mishloach Manot to Lone Soldiers.
