Hashem runs this upside-down world.
It’s been a tumultuous 2 years; starting with corona and now as the war in Ukraine rages on.
Today is Purim. One of the messages of Purim is that Hashem, G-d, runs the world. Yom Kippur is called Yom Hakipurim, the day like Purim. On this day of Purim, we can accomplish the same energies as Yom Kippur through joy.
Following are the 4 Purim mitzvahs. See how many you are able to do today before sunset.
- Read or listen to the book of Esther Here
- Give 2 poor people money - you can literally save lives in Ukraine - click here or make a donation on our website and mark Purim
- Give a gift of 2 food items to a fellow Jew
- Eat a meal including bread and drink wine - If you are in recovery DO NOT DRINK WINE USE GRAPEJUICE
May we recognize that Hashem is in charge, and we can accomplish the impossible through remaining joyous through the tough times.
Happy Purim and good Shabbos,
Rabbi Kushi
