Purim Has a Drinking Problem

One of the most joyous holidays in the jewish tradition is Purim, but it also has a dark side. Purim has a drinking problem.

Just got one of the kindest responses to one of my videos on Youtube.

Youtube message saying: "you explain it with a down to earth clarity, while still focusing on the spirituality in an easy going way."

Over the last months, I’ve just been trying to keep @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s advice from On Tyranny in the front of my mind. We are in the thick of it now, and we must stay grounded. If you haven’t read the book, here’s the list from his newsletter.

The Trump-Vance admin is exactly what they said they were going to be. Cruel. ICE is a manifestation of that cruelty. It cannot remain.

Ok, strange question: I'm moving soon, and so the background in my office/Zoom/YouTube videos will be changing. I have a ton of meaningful objects in my background that I've never explained. Do you think people would care if I made a video about those objects and why they are there? #youtube

Rabbi Adir Yolkut and I took a little time to reflect on the attack at Bondi Beach in Sydney, and talk about some of the Torah that is helping us process and hold this moment as we enter Hanukkah. youtu.be/liwB4wo59xk

The people who actually need to do the soul searching at this moment are unable of doing so. They are incapable and unwilling to see how their voices combine to create violence against Jews. I don't know the reason. Some of it is just Jew hatred, some of it is ignorance, carelessness.

To my fellow Yidden, today is going to be a lot. Like a lot a lot. I feel it too. It is important to take care of yourself. You can and should take breaks from the news, play with your kids, spend time with friends and family. There’s a trauma black hole waiting for you, so you must be vigilant.

Remember: The Bondi Beach Hanukkah event was FOR FAMILIES. They attacked Jewish kids.

In 2018, a Shabbat attack in Pittsburgh. 2023, a Simchat Torah attack in Israel. 2025, a Yom Kippur attack in the UK. And 2025 again, a Hanukkah attack in Australia. There were more attacks before and in between these. But the pattern of attacking Jews on our holidays is abundantly clear.
