Chabad at Yale's pre-Purim party
CANCUN, Mexico — Sun. Surf. Scuba. Nightlife. Ancient Mayan civilization. Ancient Persian history. Ancient Persian History? Well yes, if you are spending Purim with Chabad in Cancun.
Almost 2 million students across the country will be hitting the beaches and slopes this week. But though they will have finished their midterms and packed away their notes, Jewish students won’t be closing the books on their Jewish experiences. Wherever they are for spring break, Chabad is bringing Purim to them.

Rabbi Yossi Kahanov Shliach to Jacksonville, FL
Back in the mid -1970’s, Chairman Leonoid Brezhnev addressed a large audience of Communist Party faithful gathered at the great stadium in Moscow.
“By the year 2000,” he declared, “every family in the Soviet Union will have its own airplane!” The crowd roared in sheer exhilaration.
Suddenly a small voice emerged from the great throng, “Mr. Premier! Mr. Premier! Why would a family in Moscow need an airplane?”
A great hush overtook the crowd. Then from nowhere a voice boomed: “Of course we shall need an airplane! How else will we get to Kiev when there are potatoes for sale?”

Expert says Grand Jury tainted with negative attitudes about Jews
NEW YORK NY — Prominent Jewish leaders expressed concern over the dismissal of religious bias claims occurring in the grand jury proceedings against Sholom Rubashkin.
In a hearing last month, lawyers for Mr. Rubashkin argued that witnesses and prosecutors made several statements during the grand jury implying negative stereotypes about Jewish people, tainting their perception of the defendant. In a decision filed on Friday, the court declared that those claims were unfounded.
“Any time allegations of bias appear in the justice system, it is deeply troubling,” said Rabbi Pesach Lerner, executive vice president of the National Council for Young Israel. “We call for a thorough independent review of the testimony and a change of venue where true justice can prevail.”

The Rebbe says:
1. The Talmud first tells us the ruling of Rava (a famous Amora) that, “One is obligated to become intoxicated on Purim until he does not know the difference between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai”, and then it recounts a very interesting story for us:
“Rabbah and Reb Zeira (two prominent Amora’im) had the Purim feast together. They became intoxicated. Rabbah arose and slaughtered Reb Zeira. The next day, Rabbah prayed for mercy on Reb Zeira’s behalf and revived him.
The following year Rabbah asked Reb Zeira, ‘Let master come and we will have the Purim feast together’. Reb Zeira answered him, ‘Not every time does a miracle occur’”.
