Dance away a Happy Purim



Get into the spirit of Purim. In this show you can just join us in dancing and singing. Plain and simple Purim joy.

With the help of some Katzman kinderlach, you will be guided into a frenzy of song and dance, which will put you into the right mood for Purim.

Note, Haman thought that since he is viceroy to the King of the superpower of the world, he will determine the fate of the Jews under his rule. Today there are those in this world, actually in the same part of the world as Persia of old, who are plotting Haman's plan once again.

G-d had his own plan, queen Esther and minister, Rabbi Mordechai, spoiled Haman's lot and plot. Today, G-d has his plan to spoil the lot and plot of the Hamans' of our time.

Joy is the key. When you are joyous you elevate yourself above all little neuances that make you nervous and testy. You are a lot more tolerant and forgiving.

The Baal Shem Tov comments; King David says in Psalms 121, "G-d is your shadow", implying that G-d reflects your mood. So when you are in a happy mood, G-d will follow in this mood towards you. You fill in the blanks.

HAPPY PURIM!

Purim Spirit


Purim Spirit from Joseph Katzman on Vimeo.
Purim happened in ancient Persia, present day Iraq and iran. Any connection between todays tensions in that part of the world and Purim of old?

If Yom Kippur (Yom Ha-Ki-Purim) is only similar to Purim, which implies that Purim is holier and greater than yom kippur, how is it that on Yom Kippur we fast and spend the entire day in temple, while on purim we eat, drink, and mostly have a very good time (and that's an understatement).

What brings us closer to g-d and the mission he entrusted us with in this world, Purim or Yom Kippur?

Listen to some answers to these and other questions, in this interview with Rabbi Simon Jacobson, on A Cable to Jewish Life program with show host, Rabbi Yosef Katzman.

If the Purim story was such a great miracle, why is G-d's name never mentioned in the entire recorded story of Purim in the Megila?

And what was so much of a miracle? How does the story of Queen Esther compare to the miracle of the splitting of the red sea?

According to Rabbi Simon Jacobson, the story of purim never ended. He claims that the Baal Shem Tov says that the Purim story replays constantly in your life as well as in mine.

So what's the message of Purim? Spiritualize the material. You have been charged with a mission, says Rabbi Simon Jacobson, in this interview with Rabbi Yosef Katzman on A Cable to Jewish Life.
