On #Purim, as with every day, we must always ask ourselves, what does #God want of me in this place, at this time? Because there is always something God wants of us, and we don’t have to be anyone special to have a sacred task.

We can just be a #Jewish woman called #Esther, or a Jewish man called #Mordechai, and yet, somehow or another, our acts might have consequences that we cannot even begin to imagine.

Even though you may feel sometimes that this is a world or age in which there is 'hester panim', where you look for God and you can’t find Him, He is still saying to us "U’mi yodeia im l’et kazot higa’at lamalchut?", “Was it not for this moment that I placed you here on Earth?”

When God calls, may each of us have the courage to say to "Hineini, here I am, God, tell me what to do and I will do it."

May we go out into the world, walking tall as Jews, walking unafraid as Jews, and may we be true to our faith and a blessing to others regardless of their faith. May we hear the call of God and answer it. May we all bring blessing to the world. #PurimSameach!
