Purim 5786
As we celebrate Purim this year, we are struck by the parallels to the Book of Esther. A corrupted regime in Persian (modern-day Iran) seeks the destruction of the Jews and is thwarted. In the end “For the Jews it was a time of happiness and joy, gladness and honor” (Esther 8:16). May it be so in our day, for the Jews and for the ordinary folk of Iran as well!
