In today’s verse, Mordechai inspires Esther to courageously stand up in defense of her people, despite her natural inclinations, by assuring her that the God of Israel will surely deliver His people, one way or another. In our times, we are given opportunities to stand and support the nation of Israel. Though we firmly believe that God will ultimately save the Jewish people, we must insist on being involved to share in the blessings. The Jewish holiday of Purim, which takes place this Sunday, March 12th, is the perfect opportunity to start by rescuing the needy children of Israel, even if for just a day. On Monday, the day when Jerusalem celebrates the holiday, Israel365 will be bringing a festive celebration to a Jerusalem orphanage where 200 girls will enjoy great food and great music, ensuring only the sweetest memories for many years to come!
