In the video: Rabbi Moriah Panker/PR
Despite the difficult situation we are in, a period of war in the south and the north, thousands of dead and murdered, we need to remember that today is Rosh Chodesh Adar B, in which we are commanded to rejoice.
Rabbi Moriah Panker, head of the Paninat Or Midrash, explained in her lesson that even today - we must be happy, along with the great sadness.
And just as it was during the time of the book of Esther.
According to Rabbi Pankar, in the Book of Esther, which we read on Purim - the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, does not appear even once, indeed - that is the name of the book: Book of Esther.
A scroll that is hidden.
In everyday life, the creator of the world hides himself.
And sometimes we experience difficult and complex times - but within the hidden - we find a Creator of the world, who sees us, feels us and is with us.
Even today we are in a period of darkness, we do not understand why he made this difficult war, he hides himself, but just as profit and salvation came to the Jews from another place during the time of the book of Esther - so today too, we will soon see a great salvation.
