Purim

“Do not imagine that you, of all the Jews, will escape by being in the king’s palace. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place — and you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows, perhaps you have attained a royal position just for such a time as this?”
