Hello Everyone.
The lesson of Purim is the lesson (one could say) is the necessity for confronting evil. I had the privilege of knowing a very wise rabbi, Rabbi Yisrael Shurin zt”l. He was born in Lithuania and in his youth he heard Hitler’s speeches on the radio. Rabbi Shurin told me that everyone who heard the speeches laughed at the lunatic who claimed that he will kill all the Jews. The greatness of Mordechai according to Rabbi Shurin was that when heard Haman’s equally bombastic plan he did not laugh at it. Mordechai immediately took action and saved the Jewish people with Esther.
