My posts have become less frequent lately. This isn't just because of my busy schedule (blessed to have three jobs), but also because I've noticed a trend where people post simply to be heard.
I've decided to share content only when:
- Someone specifically requests it
- It will genuinely make a difference
- I feel a deep need to share it
As we approach Purim this year, I find myself in a different mindset than I have ever been in before. These 500 days - of October 7th+, to tracking the war and bombs injuries and losses, to watching hostages come home week after week.
I don't know about you, but Purim has taken on an entirely different meaning for me now.
When I think about Purim I just find myself wondering if this is the one that will bring the Geulah.
and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to pray my heart out on the holiest day of the year.
I'm trying to get into the "Purim spirit," but the usual themes and mishloach manot aren't inspiring me these days. I'm not sure that it's so wrong?.
This isn't to say I won't embrace the spirit of Purim - of course, I will, BEZ "H. I have family, costumes, and mishloach manot that need attention. But I don't think it's just my age that has shifted my focus -
I simply yearn for truth, for closeness with Hashem, and for the world to be fixed as only Moshiach can do.
BEZ"H, when Purim arrives, we'll be prepared not just with costumes, mishloach manot, meal plans, and table settings, but with a profound longing for a Purim miracle - one so intense that we actually bring it into being.
