The Holiday of Purim

Purim, the holiday of great joy and celebration, commemorates not only the victory of the Jews of ancient Persia over their would be killers. Purim also celebrates the unparalleled endurance and tenacity of the Jewish people throughout the ages. But what is the secret of Jewish longevity? Perhaps the answer is to be found in Megillat Ester - the Book of Esther, itself, which we read not once, but twice, on Purim. Purim is celebrated this year on Monday evening-Tuesday. Happy Purim!
