Purim is the great equalizer.


From a Shiur by Shira Smiles on Naaleh

Purim: Pride and Prayer
Teacher: Mrs. Shira Smiles
Class: Jewish Calendar II (Chanukah and Purim)


Purim is a great equalizer, the rich send to the poor, and the poor send to the rich, and we don't make distinctions. We are all children of Hashem. That is also the idea of Matyonos L'Evyonim (giving to the poor) on Purim we give to everyone who puts out their hand. We work on seeing every Jew as our brother and equal and deserving of help.
