I have a book recommendation for Jew haters. It’s called the Book of Esther.

In it you’ll meet Haman, who tried to eliminate the Jewish people entirely. When things began to unravel, even his wife Zeresh saw the truth. She said that if Mordechai is from the seed of the Jews, you will not overcome him. You will fall before him.

That’s not Jewish bravado, but rather, it is history speaking now. The story repeats itself again and again. Attempts to erase the Jewish people never end the way their architects expect.

If you ever want a real conversation, I’m open. In the meantime, read the Megillah with an open mind and heart.

Purim Sameach.

What does it mean to be a Jewish king?

Purim introduces us to King Achashverosh, a man ruled by impulse. In anger and intoxication he makes irreversible decisions. He wakes up to the consequences of a night where desire ran the show. That is not kingship. That is chaos.

In Judaism, the word Melech teaches the opposite. Moach, Lev, Caved. Mind, heart, body. A true king is someone whose higher consciousness leads. Values shape emotion. Emotion guides action. Not the other way around. Moach shalit al halev. The mind rules the heart. To be a Jewish king is to live from above to below, with wisdom before impulse, with purpose before desire.

Dear Jew, stop lying to yourself.

The Megillah says it clearly. Mordechai the Jew. That comes first. You are a Jew. Connected to your people. Connected to Jerusalem. Connected to a story bigger than you.

Purim is about uncovering that. Strip it down. Who are you at the core. Start there. Live from there. Good Purim.
