Its been a tough week. Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai also had a tough week long ago in Adar, but in the end as the saying goes it all worked out.
They gained relief on the fifteenth, making it a day of feasting and gladness.
This weeks bad news wont go away, but neither will Purim. It gives us a mandated and much needed chance to enjoy. Lets do it.
