33: Purim - Al HaNissim - Amalek

Sarah Lipman Pruim - Al HaNissim - Amalek

It's time you looked forward to "Al HaNissim" on Purim!

Every person and every life, in being created, has inherent value and meaning — including your own.

Amalek's denial of God as the Source of life and Creator of the world also attacks the core value of human life as a reflection of the image of God. Want proof? See it in a close reading of the words of the "Al HaNissim" we say on Purim in bentching and Shmone Esrei.

Happy Purim!
