Days of Purim

and the scroll of Esther

Laws and customs of Purim. From the statements of our sages of blessed memory Purim holiday.

Purim and the Scroll of Esther teaches us the right-à-vis the expulsion. Teach that the scattering is no salvation. They teach that we should as far as possible away from other cultures, because it is the preoccupation with exile and the need to get rid of Dimo galut (exile) is within us. And then the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from Galut ...

The Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from Galut, that is truly free of Israel, that we keep all the commandments of the Torah, for Tolna this is our liberation, and that we implement all the prophecies of our prophets.
