"Unfortunately, many people know the holiday of #Purim, which occurs next week, only as the “#Jewish #Halloween” – as a big dress-up (or strip-down) party celebrated with meaningless mirth and carnival-like abandon.
I beg to offer a more sober, #theological, and #kabbalistic gloss on the #holiday.
#Tanach (the Bible), #Talmud, #Halacha, and #Kabbalah elevate #wine from beverage to blessing – linking joy to holiness, song to gratitude, and harvest to hope.
Drinking wine on Purim is a method of catapulting our consciousness to a perfected world where God’s presence is dominant and evil is vanquished.
Throughout the Jewish canon, beginning with the Bible, the vital relationships between man and woman, between man and God, and between the Jewish people and their God are expressed via the metaphors of vine and wine."
