Umi Yode'a Im L'et Kazot

[bnewman]

Just in time for Purim, a classic verse from the Scroll of Esther: "Who knows, maybe it was for just such a time as this that you came to royalty?" The Hebrew word "malchut" means royalty, sovereignty, kingdom, but also (as a kabbalistic term) physical reality. Each of us has a role to play in standing against evil in our time — who knows, maybe it was for just such a time as this that you arrived in the world?
