Rabbi cites Book of Esther, shares messages of deep faith on Purim: 'We pray that the hardships for all people end swiftly and peacefully'
Quote:
As Jewish people from all over celebrate Purim beginning on Wednesday at sundown through Thursday evening, one rabbi shared with Fox News Digital his thoughts and perspectives about the times we are living through today — and why this holiday has a vital message to share.
Given the continuing attacks in Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his forces, the rabbi said, "How do we maintain a sense of peace and security [right now]?"
He believes that the Jewish holiday of Purim, which falls on March 17, 2022, "provides the message we so desperately need."
This article is an excellent read on the past and the present
"Rabbi Pinchas Taylor, born and raised in Plantation, Florida, and based there today, said to Fox News Digital, 'Two Vladimirs, two sides, fighting each other. One aggressor, one defender — sounds almost biblical.'"
It does sound biblical, and I know more than one person who has made the allusion to Cain vs Abel in the Bible. Two brothers -- the older one who envies the younger and seeks his destruction.
