Purim 2025 at Chabad Intown was Magical! 

The Beltline was alive with energy as over 100 Jews came together loud and proud to celebrate Purim! We read the Megillah, enjoyed a delicious Purim feast, assembled Mishloach Manot in our vibrant market, got beautiful henna designs and had fun in the Photo Booth!

But the real magic happened as we danced our way until the last moment, straight into Shabbat! (insert videos) ✨ There’s something truly special about celebrating together, feeling that deep sense of Jewish unity as we welcomed Shabbat with joy and song.

As the night came to a close, we lit candles, said Kiddush, and enjoyed challah and soup, surrounded by the warmth of community and tradition.

✨What an unforgettable Purim✨

In contrast to their image of the downtrodden Eastern European Jew, the Zionist fathers wanted to train the young in good posture to demonstrate the Zionistic Pride. 

Today, this rejection of the Old Jew and embrace of the New Jew takes on a different form. It revolves around pride in the ingenuity of Israeli's, their role in High Tech, their dedication to helping in crises around the world, being the most moral army, and of course pride in the IDF.

Are you bemoaning your circumstances?  Are you finding the good in it?

What are your discussions about these days?  Israel. Anti Semitism. Are you finding other things to talk about? Are you finding the silver lining?

Non-Jews respect Jews who respect Judaism, and they are embarrassed by Jews who are embarrassed by Judaism.“ — Rabbi Sacks.
