Have you ever been in class and were too shy to raise your hand to ask a question? Sometimes we might get embarrassed to ask the teacher to repeat an idea or to explain it more simply, thinking that the we might get mocked for not understanding, or that the teacher will be annoyed at having to explain it again. The Mishna relates to this and says, One who is too shy to ask questions cannot learn. This teaches us, don’t be nervous to ask. One who is timid and doesn’t ask wh...en he has a question, will not get the information. By taking the step and going out of your comfort zone to ask the question, will help you gain the current information, and give you the courage to do so again. Shabbat Shalom!!!

The numbers 7 & 8 teach a beautiful lesson. 7 is a natural number, one that is found every day (think of 7 days of the week, 7 notes of music etc.). 8 is a number that transforms nature. Transforming nature takes hard work and effort. When reaching a goal one is not to be satisfied with what has been accomplished. Going from strength to strength, one must continuously try to do better than before. Shabbat Shalom!!!

In the Megillah there have been a couple of wine parties with King Achasveirosh, Queen Ester, and Evil Haman. When Haman wanted to annihilate the Jewish people, the Jews felt squeezed and pressured. Feeling Squeezed usually has a negative connotation, yet when we look at the process of wine making, squeezing a grape becomes a fine process. Wine is not found naturally, only after squeezing a high quality grape will you be able to enjoy the delicious spirit. The above parable i...s connected to the Purim Story. Instead of the Jews bending to the pressure, the essence of the Jewish Pride shone and sparkled. Today by displaying Jewish Pride, we relive the message of the Purim story. Happy Purim & Shabbat Shalom !!!

The Jewish people have ups and downs; Haman tried destroying the Jewish nation on this thought. However he did not take in to account the Jews unbreakable relationship with G-d. All other holidays celebrate the high’s of the Jewish Nation, where Joy can’t last. Purim celebrates the low’s where the relationship with G-d was unshakable. Creating a Joy that is continues and unbreakable. Shabbat Shalom & Happy Adar!!!
