FEEDBACK
FROM LAST YEAR: “Thank you for the excellent job you guys did with the Seder. Originally my children were not looking forward to it, but they ended up having a great time and learned many new things. I really liked the format with each group reading passages and adding their contemporary meaning to them.”
At the core of creativity lies freedom of expression, and boundless energy. How does that jive with a religious lifestyle that appears so restrictive and
limiting?

Purim and Alcohol
Purim & alcohol
Dear Rabbi,
You are well acquainted with my recovery from alcohol addiction and how this journey brought me back to my Jewish heritage.
Due to my previous limited understanding, I always saw Purim as a Jewish version of Halloween. My recent Jewish learning, however, has now given me much more understanding and appreciation of this Jewish holiday, its historical significance and meaning for us as Jews today.
But as a recovering alcoholic there is just one detail I cannot comprehend. How can Jews be encouraged to consume alcohol in excess on Purim to the point where one “cannot differentiate between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai”?
Firstly, the dangers of alcohol are well known. How can there be an endorsement of such extreme levels of intoxication where one cannot discern between the most basic distinctions? Secondly, how can I, a recovering alcoholic, fulfil this obligation? There must be more to this mitzvah!
Mazal Tov to Alex Bonwick on his Bar Mitzvah this week in Shul. Mazal Tov to his parents, Dalia Klein & Alex Bonwick and to his grandparents, Luba & Louise Klein and Rosemary & Monte Bonwick.

Celebrate Purim! Purim How-To Guide Your 2018 Purim guide contains the story of Purim, and all you need to know about the 4 mitzvahs of Purim and the other observances of the day.
The people of Israel are told to each contribute exactly half a shekel of silver to the Sanctuary. Instructions are also given regarding the making of the Sanctuary’s water basin, anointing oil and incense. “Wise-hearted” artisans Betzalel and Aholiav are placed in charge of the Sanctuary’s construction, and the people are once again commanded to keep the Shabbat.
When Moses does not return when expected from Mount Sinai, the people make a golden calf and worship it. G‑d proposes to destroy the errant nation, but Moses intercedes on their behalf. Moses descends from the mountain carrying the tablets of the testimony engraved with the Ten Commandments; seeing the people dancing about their idol, he breaks the tablets, destroys the golden calf, and has the primary culprits put to death. He then returns to G‑d to say: “If You do not forgive them, blot me out from the book that You have written.”
G‑d forgives, but says that the effect of their sin will be felt for many generations. At first G‑d proposes to send His angel along with them, but Moses insists that G‑d Himself accompany His people to the promised land.
Moses prepares a new set of tablets and once more ascends the mountain, where G‑d reinscribes the covenant on these second tablets. On the mountain, Moses is also granted a vision of the divine thirteen attributes of mercy. So radiant is Moses’ face upon his return, that he must cover it with a veil, which he removes only to speak with G‑d and to teach His laws to the people.
