Énekelünk és táncolunk (erről sokat olvashatnak ebben a pu- rimi lapszámban), nagyokat eszünk és nagyok iszunk. Jelmez- be bújunk, ami elfedi valódi kilétünket, és hajnalig mulatunk. Meghallgatjuk a megila felolvasását és közben, ahányszor csak felbukkan a gonosz Hámán neve, borzasztó nagy zajt csapunk magunk körül: pörögnek a kereplők, hujjogás, dobogás nyomja el a perzsa zsidók életét megkeserítő főgonosz nevének említé- sét.

Emellett adakozunk a szegényeknek: minden- ki a lehetőségei szerint juttat a szükséget szenvedőknek pénzt: még a legszegényebb sorsú, maga is alamizsnára szoruló is ad adományt. Sok helyen a rászorulókat segítő szervezetek purimi akciókat szerveznek, mintegy összehozva a keresletet a kínálattal. Purim négy micvájából (ünnepi lakoma és mulatság, a me gi la meghallgatása, ajándékküldés és adakozás) kettő rólunk szól, kettő másokról. Kettő az önfeledtségről, kettő a társadalmi fele- lősségvállalásról.

  • THE ZIONIST ARGUMENT and the ARGUMENT ABOUT ZIONISM Donna Robinson Divine
    THE ZIONIST ARGUMENT AND THE ARGUMENT ABOUT ZIONISM Donna Robinson Divine IMPROVING THE CAMPUS CLIMATE INITIATIVE (ICCI) January 2021 BD S& TH EQ UE ER AP PR OP RIAT IONO FP INKW AS HING About AEN The Academic Engagement Network (AEN) is an organization of faculty members, administrators, and staff members on American college and university campuses across the United States. We are committed to opposing efforts to delegitimize Israel, affirming academic freedom and freedom of expression in the university community, promoting robust discussion of Israel on campus, and countering antisemitism when it occurs. The AEN aims to promote more productive ways of addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In place of one-sided sloganeering reinforcing simple binaries, we advocate open debate acknowledging complexity. In place of aggressive, antidemocratic tactics galvanizing deep inter-group suspicions, we advocate respectful exchanges of ideas. We insist that the heckler’s veto has no place in the academy – there is no free speech right that permits blocking free speech by others. We are committed as well to addressing antisemitism often found in anti- Israel narratives. Network members serve as resources for reasoned discussion about Israel on campuses. They advise campus presidents, provosts, deans and other administrators on Israel, academic boycotts, antisemitism, and related issues; organize faculty forums and public education programs; mentor students in their efforts to advance dialogue about Israel and oppose Israel delegitimization on campus; encourage universities to forge and enhance U.S.-Israel academic ties, including student and faculty exchanges and research collaborations; and speak, write, participate in discussions, submit essays, and publish op eds.
