How do you prepare for Purim when you’re in the middle of the story – the part where all the Jews are going to be killed? On King George Street today in Tel Aviv, there were costumes, very sexy costumes, all over the streets, and the streets were full of people. But the mood wasn’t joyous – it was defiant.
When there only way to go is forward, we Jews go forward.
Others complain that they are victims because they cannot go backwards to live in some mythical land that never existed.
