A rare convergence marks this year's Purim celebration as Jerusalem and the rest of the Jewish world unite on the same day—an event that won't occur again for at least two decades. This timing feels divinely orchestrated, arriving precisely when we need Jewish unity most, following more than a year of hardship since October 7th 2023.
The stories of hostages who survived captivity mirror the ancient Purim narrative with startling clarity. Rachel Edry offering her captors homemade cookies during a 20-hour standoff; Yarden Roman Gat sacrificing her freedom so her husband could escape with their three-year-old daughter; Agam Berger lighting a single Hanukkah candle while in captivity. These modern heroes embody "Na'afochu"—the complete reversal of fortune that defines Purim's essence—where what was meant for destruction becomes the pathway to salvation.
Against the backdrop of antisemitism on university campuses and a world that often responds to Israel's suffering with accusation rather than support, this Purim invites us to transform our celebration into purposeful action. We drink kosher wine not just for pleasure but as a declaration that our existence is not an accident but a miracle. Each bottle from Israel, France, America, or beyond represents not just tradition but resilience—the dedication of winemakers who continue creating despite challenges. When we raise our glasses, we do so for the hostages, for the soldiers, for all who cannot celebrate, knowing they would want us to find strength in unity and joy.
