Purim Wishes
As we enter the Purim holiday this evening, we read the book of Esther – a story of the precarious nature of Jewish security and acceptance in society. Its stark similarities to the insecurities many of us are experiencing these days remind us of the importance of our work.

But this celebration of Jewish resilience is also bound up with the lesson that even amidst tough times, we must find opportunities to live with levity and joy.

From the whole JPAC team, we wish you a Chag Purim Sameach – Happy Purim and hope you have a joyous holiday!
