Purim inspires us with its mighty story of survival. Think about Mordechai’s heroism! Jump for joy at Esther’s courage! No matter how hard the Hamans of the world try to make us cower, we can each be heroic by valuing the power of our voice and our Jewish commitment. Purim reminds us of our strength and resilience, and commands us to increase our happiness – the very opposite of Haman’s plan. Hamantashen, anyone?
