Jewish History After a respected
Jew was falsely accused of stealing the royal curtains from the governor's
palace, the entire Jewish community of Prague was in mortal danger. After miraculous
intervention, the real culprit confessed to the crime, sparing the Jews of
the city To commemorate this
event, "Purim of the Curtains" was instituted to thank G-d for the
miraculous salvation. Link: Purim

Hamitzvot Hayom Yom Daily Thought A Time of Silence In Ancient Egypt,
things only got worse for the Hebrew slaves before they got better. Why? A parable: A father answers the
questions of his child and they are happy together, in joyful dialogue. Then the child asks
a question, a meaningful question. A question that provides a window to his
soul. So now the father
must think deeply—not just for the answer, but to reach to the essence of
this answer so he may bring it to the world of his child. For a long while,
the father is quiet. And so, the child
becomes anxious and begins to cry. “Father, where are you? Why do you no
longer talk to me? Why have you deserted me for your own thoughts?” And then the father
begins to speak, but this time it is the deepest core of his mind that flows into
the mind and heart of the child. Such a flow that with this the child, too,
may become a father. The child is us. The
time of silence is now. When the spirit of
humankind is dim, when the flow gates of Above seem all but sealed, when the
heavens are silent, prepare for liberation. |
