Why do we fast before one of the most joyous days of the year?
The Megillah teaches us that before the Jewish people could fight back against Haman’s decree, they first needed to fast—because true victory isn’t just physical, it’s spiritual. Fasting is a form of Tefillah (prayer) and Teshuva (repentance), a way to seek Rachamim (heavenly mercy) and reconnect to our source of joy—Torah and Simcha.
As we prepare for Purim, we tap into this deep connection, knowing that true joy comes from light, faith, and unity. May this be the last fast our nation ever needs, and may this Purim, leading into Shabbos, bring the ultimate Geulah—a world of peace, love, and eternal Shabbos. ✨

Finding purpose and meaning in life is a core teaching of our sages.
The story of Esther and Mordecai reminds us that each of us has a unique role to play—and that we must not remain silent when we can make a difference.
True purpose comes from connecting to the Torah, the ultimate source of joy and light

True joy isn’t about having everything—it’s about appreciating what you have.
Haman had wealth, power, and status, yet he was miserable because he couldn’t control everything.
The message of Purim reminds us to find happiness in the simple pleasures: family, friends, music, good food, and Torah.
Joy is in the present moment, not in chasing more.
Embrace it, live it, and truly enjoy life!

At Har Sinai, we received the Torah with open miracles. In the days of Achashverosh,
we accepted it again-this time, with true free will. Megillat Esther teaches us to find Hashem even in hiddenness,
but our hearts still long for the Beit HaMikdash and the return of open prophecy.
Where do you see Hashem’s hand in your life today?

Hashem’s love for us is unconditional, no matter what.
That’s the powerful message of the Purim story, and it’s something we should tap into and share with the world.
As the Jewish people, we have the responsibility to be a shining light of this endless love.
Let’s embody it, celebrate it, and spread it!

Adar is here, and with it comes the call to increase our joy!
But how do we tap into real, lasting simcha?
Rav Shlomo Katz shares a powerful insight on how Shabbat holds the key.
By embracing the calm, pleasure, and deep connections of Shabbat, we can cultivate true happiness—not just for one day, but all week long.
And as we prepare for Purim, this mindset helps us step into the spirit of joy in the most meaningful way.

Shabbat Zachor reminds us to never forget what Amalek did to us
but also to believe in the power of transformation.
Even the darkest forces, like Haman’s sons, can find redemption.
We remember the past, but we also hold onto hope for the future.

Why do some Jews blame themselves for the hatred they face?
From the Spanish Inquisition to Nazi Germany and even in the Purim story this troubling phenomenon of Jewish self-hatred repeats itself.
It’s so important to have resilience, strength, and embrace our Jewish identity with pride!

The highest levels of success whether in our material lives, spiritual growth, or relationships—are not achieved alone.
The Talmud teaches that we cannot free ourselves from our own inner exile;
we need mentors, teachers, and friends to guide us.
The right people help us see our strengths, overcome our blind spots, and push us toward greatness.
Seek out those who uplift you, challenge you, and believe in your potential. True growth happens through connection.

Every Friday night, before Kedushah, a beautiful Jewish tradition takes place, blessing our children and grandchildren.
For boys, we say, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh’—the first brothers in Jewish history to live in harmony.
For girls, we say, ‘May God make you like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah’—our four matriarchs who shaped our people.
This moment is more than just words; it’s a powerful way to instill values of unity, connection, and love across generations. ✨
