The following is a review of his work by David Assaf:
Purim is a time of great joy, when the Jews experienced a miraculous “turn around”- Haman, viceroy to the most powerful king of that time, was killed, and the Jewish people restored to safety and saved from annihilation. Purim’s unrestrained joy is often marked with drinking. Like everything in life, alcohol consumption needs to be understood and used with moderation and discretion.
