This year’s Purim celebrations were not easy at all. It’s hard to paste a smile on your face, and hard to dance and rejoice. Yet despite it all, these actions bring with them a fervent hope for change, a potential to reverse this difficult situation from sorrow to joy – as in the days of Mordechai and Esther, as their sorrow was turned to joy and their mourning to a day of celebration.
May we soon be blessed to hear good news, to the speedy release of our hostages to their homes, and to the war’s end with the granting of security and peace to all residents of Israel and the region. Halevai!
