Faith

hool kids, their teachers and parents dressed up in costumes seen at the Gabrieli Carmel School in Tel Aviv, ahead of the the Jewish holiday of Purim, March 13, 2025.

Beneath the sorrow, something stirs. It’s the same ember that burned in Shushan, when Esther stepped into the king’s court, when Mordechai refused to bow. It’s the fire of our people who’ve faced Hamans in every generation—Pharaohs, Romans, Nazis—and lived to tell the tale.
