Purim is the Inglourious Basterds of the Bible

“Who knows? Perhaps you have come to royal position for just such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14)

What if where you are right now isn’t accidental? What if this moment — complicated, uncomfortable, demanding — is precisely the one you’re meant to step into?

The conversation begins with the surprising parallels between Inglourious Basterds and the Book of Esther — and a cute story about Rabbi and Rebbetzin's second date.

Along the way, we explore Purim’s strange joy, its moral tension, and the deep Jewish instinct to turn revenge fantasy into generosity.

Purim begins Monday evening, March 2, and Kehillah is marking it with gatherings for both families and adults in Midlothian: https://kehillahrva.org/calendar/

Maybe you’re here for such a time as this.

Chag Purim Sameach.
