- Purim & The Month of Adar
Purim of Persia, there have been many other
miraculous occasions when Jewish communities were
saved from disaster. The "Purim of the Curtains"
(Tevet 22) marked when the Jewish community of
Prague was saved in 1623, after being falsely
accused of stealing royal gold curtains. In
"Purim Fassano" (4th day Pesach) the Jews of this
Italian town were saved when an unexploded French
bomb scared away a wild mob that was threatening
them. In 1616, the Jews of Frankfort were saved
from a vicious anti-Semite named Vincent
Fettmilch in "Purim Vincent" (20 Adar) In "Purim
of Saragossa, Spain (17-18 Shvat) the Jews were
saved by parading before the king with the all of
the town’s Sifrei Torah. There were not one, but
two "Purims of Chevron," (14 Tevet) in 1814 &
1832; "Purim Yemen" happened in Sana on 16 Adar;
& "Purim Burghul" (29 Tevet) was in Tripoli in
1793 when the Jews of Libya were saved at the last moment.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
