On Purim, we customarily say – “V’nahafoch hu” – a reversal – “Like the days upon which the Jews were relieved of their enemies, and the month which had been transformed for them from one of sorrow to joy, from mourning to festivity.”
We will celebrate the holiday under the shadow of war and remind ourselves that many times our enemies have pursued us and intended to destroy the Jewish People. The Book of Esther tells the story of the Jewish People in those days and how they arose from an attempt to destroy them and were miraculously saved.
Today, the pupils of the Migdal Ohr educational institutions celebrated the holiday with Purim parties and costumes. There were many “superhero” costumes, i.e., Israeli soldiers and members of the defense forces. Soldiers, police officers, pilots, etc. brightening up the school.
The excited pupils could not stop smiling and laughing throughout the day, which was organized by the educational and teaching staff.
During this difficult period, Migdal Ohr ensured that the holiday parties and celebrations would be held.
Rabbi Grossman said: “Their smile and happiness is our victory over the evil enemies who wish to destroy us”.
