Leah’s Blog – Parshat Zechore – Feb 2026 – A long breath of apprehension as fighter jets sear through the sky – evoking this sense of place and time. Remember what Amalek did to u. The same place – Persia -the same people – Israel. The backdrop of the megillas opening scene- assimilated Jews whose loss of identity had them partying and drinking out of Temple vessels in the court of the Supreme leader. Remember what Amalek did to you. It’s a commandment to remember – when morality and perversion collide- History is copied into layers of time. The masquerade is on in full swing -Haman the descendant of Agag lives today. Israel lives today – restored. When we mention Haman, we stop a moment to rattle and clank – to embed into the psyche because we must remember and be brought out of our stupor of anything goes. The clamor of the builders surrounding the Fogel house, of an entire neighborhood built does not let me forget. Chesed can be pulled to the limit but expodes when exceeding it. Purim is an ancient custom celebrated about a reveal event that copies on to today. Like Ester- truth has never been more in your face as it appears hidden until the moment reality snaps – for the sake of Israel- Remember what Amalek did to you. HAMAN- your time is up
