If you were asked to pick one Jewish holiday that should be retained for all time, which one would you pick? Rosh Hashanah would be high on some people’s list, as it is a celebration of the creation and the Creator; others might choose Hanukkah, inspired by the timeless message of the prophet Zechariah: Not by might and not by power but by your spirit alone. My personal choice would be Passover, as the struggle against Persian gods Marduk and Ishtar. arrogant leaders. For me, God’s concern for humankind, most Mordechai is quite involved in the notably those mistreated by the larger society, would deem politics of the court and is even in Passover as eternally relevant.

(Maimonides Mishnah What Jewish history shows is that there is no real cure for the Torah: Hilchot Megillah 2:18) global disease of anti-Semitism. How many times have Jews Of all the Jewish holidays in the calendar, why would Rambam approached this pernicious issue with the word “IF”? choose Purim? How could he hold that the holiday when • If Jews are less visible, anti-Semitism will cease. we tell the story of Queen Esther replete with groggers, eat • If Jews are more proactive, anti-Semitism will cease. hamentashen, and engage in all manner of frivolity be held up as the holiday that Jews would observe in the Messianic period? • If Jews have their own homeland, anti-Semitism will cease. Permit me to offer four reasons for your consideration: The great historian Paul Johnson put it well when he classified anti-Semitism as an illness: I would call it an intellectual disease, 1. The threat that foolish and arrogant leaders pose a disease of the mind, extremely infectious and massively In Megillat Esther we meet King Ahashuverus, playing the role of destructive. It is a disease to which both human individuals and the fool at a drunken banquet. His wife, Vashti, has no respect for entire human societies are prone.
