"I prefer a different Star Trek metaphor. Purim is the day that we reunite the disparate aspects of ourselves bifurcated by transporter and spiritual accidents. It is the day when we acknowledge both our physical and spiritual selves and the need for both. It is the holiday when we dare to say that even in the throes of the Evil Inclination, we are not such terrible people, and we are capable of great good." -- Rabbi Moshe Rosenberg, "Five Reasons Spock Was the Quintessential Jew" 2015-03-03

[To those honouring the Fast of Esther today, may you have an easy fast, and to those celebrating Purim tonight and tomorrow, may you have a joyous celebration. Send me some hamantaschen, eh?]
