It is hard to predict how the world is going to react, in the coming three weeks, to one of the most unusual and outrageous events in history.
The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expressed, before all the world, his hatred of the Jews and his nation’s intention to destroy all Jews with the most invidious weapon of Satan.
Turns out that on March 14th the Jews of the world will celebrate a festival that they have celebrated for 2,000 years about this very subject. The biblical book of Esther tells the story of Jew-hatred in Iran thousands of years ago. Esther confronted the evil and defeated it. The festival is Purim.
Jews every year are prepared for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. We curse his name whenever it is mentioned and we get drunk rejoicing in our victory over his evil.
Right out of the bible, evil has reappeared and will again be defeated. Maybe by a brilliant and beautiful woman again.
