Dear Family,

I saw an interesting Dvar Torah in the editorial of Chayenu magazine this week, relating to PURIM KATAN (the SMALL PURIM) which we celebrate tonight and tomorrow, as follows:

The Rebbe explains that even though it is a small Purim it has importance, because it comes before the MAIN PURIM, and this importance is that it prepares us for proper celebration. (Purim Katan 1986).

Even although we could anyway prepare for Purim a month in advance, we see that there is a distinct advantage when the motivation to prepare, is clothed in a Purim format on Purim Katan.

One of the messages of Purim is Venahapoch Hu (Megilah 9:1) - the whole situation changed over (for the Jews from massive danger to victory and joy).

This means that on Purm Katan, our situation and Divine Service could be transformed into a new paradigm, A LIMITLESS AND JOYOUS ONE.

If it felt impossible yesterday, know that today everything is possible.

And connected to this week's Sedra Tetzaveh.

Tetzaveh means command, but it also means CONNECTION.

So today is the day to develop our connection with Hashem through more dedication to fulfilling His Will, through Torah study and Mitzvos, and especially with JOY.

I am attaching some videos for Purim Katan

Gut Shabbos and continued joy for all, and our soldiers, hostages, and the whole of Klal Yisrael!
