Purim in the second term of the #Ahasuerus / #Haman administration:
Purim calls on us to emulate Esther, our model for saving communities threatened by the #corrupt #tyrant and his scheming, evil counselor. Our tradition demands that we intervene on behalf of #refugees, #asylumseekers, #LGBT, #women, #Ukraine, #veterans, #federalemployees, and all those targeted by #hate.
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה .
As it was then, so it is today. -
If you got my Sunday email today, I started it with a recap of the Purim story, for those less familiar with it...
and yes, it is - as we say in Hebrew, אותה גברת בשינוי אדרת, 'the same lady wearing a different hat'. A different story but basically the same:
The Jews are hated, someone's life mission is to kill us, others are like 'Yeah, let's kills those Jews once and for all!'... and at the end we survive. Scarred, but we survive.
While Haman in Hebrew sounds the same המן ha-'man, and Hamas in Hebrew is a little different - kha-'mas חמאס, their main goal in life was to kill us.
And so, in the spirit of Purim, I say: GET A LIFE. Killing Jews is not it.
And if you're not getting my emails yet, we can fix that. Just comment the word EMAIL, and I will get you on that list.

Probably won't come up at Purim this weekend, if I'm being honest.
