Israel, the US, Iran and Purim

I told my read of the situation, as a US citizen old enough to remember the US hostages in Iran, and now an Israeli civilian on the receiving end of Iran’s “ring of fire”.
Plus, as an Orthodox Jew, I described the pretty obvious parallel to the Purim holiday earlier this week. Purim celebrates certain events that happened in Persia (today’s Iran) about 2,500 years ago. What happened then definitely seems relevant to today’s current events.
Based on the feedback from those that attended, the information and analysis I presented was quite well received.
Purim is now behind us and the fighting has continued to develop. But I think what I had to share is just about as relevant now as it was at the meeting. Check it out for yourself here!
