We are living in a time when many families are struggling. Some don’t have money for their most basic necessities, heaven forbid. Some have basic parnosso, thank g-d, but little beyond that. Simchas haven’t slowed down; it seems that celebrations are ever increasing.

Sholom Ber Schtroks (Cologne, Germany) to Chaya Minzberg (Tzfat, EY)
by Rabbi Bentzion Elisha

The following is an incident that occurred On Shushan Purim, Friday, March 9th 2012.

I wasn’t planning to write about this since I initially figured this was solely a private matter. After replaying it in my mind and talking about it with friends and family, I realized that it is should be shared with others too, since it wasn’t about my family and me personally, but rather it happened to us because we are Jewish, making it relevant to any Jew.

Worries over Iranian Jews if Israel Attacks

AP

Iranian Jews light candles as they pray at the shrine of biblical prophet Daniel, in the city of Susa, some 450 miles southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran.

All but lost amid the heated talk about a possible Israeli attack on Iran’s suspect nuclear program are the thousands of Jews who live in the Islamic Republic and could be caught in the middle.
