Shabbat Zachor & Purim

Shabbat Zachor 2025 / שַׁבָּת זָכוֹר 5785

Shabbat of Remembrance

Shabbat Zachor for Hebrew Year 5785 begins at sundown on Friday, 7 March 2025 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, 8 March 2025. This corresponds to Parashat Tetzaveh. (hebcal)

Shabbat Zachor (“Sabbath [of] remembrance שבת זכור) is the Shabbat immediately preceding Purim. Deuteronomy 25:17-19, describing the attack by Amalek, is recounted. There is a tradition from the Talmud that Haman (boo!), the antagonist of the Purim story, was descended from Amalek. The portion that is read includes a commandment to remember the attack by Amalek, and therefore at this public reading both men and women make a special effort to hear the reading.

On Purim, Queen Esther saves the Jews from being killed, encouraged by her Uncle Mordechai. She's a heroine for all time. 

Amalek & Hamas

The attack by Amalek, as described in the Torah (Exodus 17:8-16 and Deuteronomy 25:17-19), and the October 7, 2023, massacre of Jews by Hamas share haunting similarities in their brutality and targeting of the innocent.  

Amalek’s attack on the Israelites was a ruthless ambush against the most vulnerable—those who were weary and lagging behind. The Torah describes Amalek as embodying unprovoked evil, striking without reason or mercy. 

Similarly, on October 7, Hamas launched an unprecedented assault on Israeli civilians, murdering families, abducting children and the elderly, and committing acts of terror meant to instill fear and destruction. Both attacks were characterized by indiscriminate violence against non-combatants and a deep-seated hatred toward the Jewish people.  

Jewish tradition commands us to remember Amalek and to work toward ensuring that such evil does not prevail. The horrors of October 7 remind us of this ancient obligation—to stand united, defend our people, and never forget. History may change, but the resilience of the Jewish spirit remains unwavering.

Tu BishVat - the New Year for Trees - Feb 12

The New Year for Trees

We mark the 15th of Shevat by eating fruit mentioned in the Torah in its praise of the bounty of the Holy  Land: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates.

The New Year for Trees or Tu Bishvat is the 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar—celebrated this year on Wed. Feb. 12, 2025 at sundown, is the day that marks the beginning of a “new year” for trees. Commonly known as Tu Bishvat, this day marks the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle.

The tree of life is nothing other than Torah, as it is stated: “It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it, and those who support it are joyous” (Proverbs 3:18).

Frosty Fiesta: the South Turned into a Snow Globe

Blizzard of 2025 hits the southern U.S. States

As a Chicago resident, I'm used to snow. It's funny to see the snow hitting New Orleans and Florida, and other states that are not used to it. In fact, they have more snow than we do.
