What does Purim teach us? Two things—
First, we must use privilege for justice and the good of our communities.
Second, thick thighs save lives.

The Torah is always going on—“the children of Israel” this, “the children of Israel” that.
But what about the adults, did ~they~ ever do anything?
Historically interesting context, in that this was written within a couple generations of the Rhineland massacres.

The lives lost in war are the first concern, but there’s also something to be said about how this war will drive up the prices of just about everything while we’re in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.
