Dear friends,

It is my honor and privilege to address you with this letter dedicated to the great Holiday of Purim as a Rabbi of The Congregation Beit Shalom.

I don’t believe in coincidences. It is Hashem’s plan that Purim will be the first Holiday we will celebrate together. The Holiday when: “The Jews had light and joy, and gladness and honor.” - Ester 8/16.

Purim is the day, when we can open our hearts and share the joy in unity and celebration with every Jew. I truly believe that we have a Divine opportunity to make this day a beginning of growth and success, while planting the seeds of mutual respect and unconditional love to everyone.

May we merit to share many moments of happiness together. Happy Purim.
