Good News for PURIM 2017/5777. Team Israel, the lowest ranking team in the
World Baseball Classic, remains undefeated having crushed the top ranking teams
of South Korea, China Taipei, Netherlands and Cuba.
After batting their way to the top, winning Word Baseball
Classic, Team Israel recruits Batman, Spiderman, and my Power-Ranger
great-grandson to repeat the defeat of evil Persian Haman 2,500 years ago by thwarting
wicked Persian Khamenei’s current plans to annihilate the Jewish State.
New Israel Defense Forces uniforms are being issued in blue
and white and cumtaot berets are being replaced by baseball caps.
“He shall remove his garments and don other garments.”
(Leviticus 6: 4)
With Team Israel uniforms, the IDF is invincible.
“Remember what Amalek did to you on your way out of
Egypt. How, undeterred by fear of God, he surprised you on the way, when
you were famished and weary, and cut down all the stragglers in your
rear. Therefore, when the Lord your God grants you safety from all your
enemies around you, in the Land that the Lord your God is giving you as an
inheritance, you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.
Do not forget! “(Deuteronomy 25:17-19)
On the Shabbat before the holiday of Purim, we are charged
not to forget Amalek’s merciless murder of Jews solely because they are Jews.
In the Scroll of Esther read on Purim, the incarnation of
Amalek is Haman who plots to murder all Jews in the Persian kingdom.
The Purim story ends in Iran with Haman hanging from the
gallows he constructed to hang the Jew Mordecai.
The present day incarnation of Grand Ayatollah Haman is
Iranian Grand Ayatollah Khamenei aspiring to recreate a new Persian Empire with
the same genocidal intentions.
The story remains the same. Only the players and their
costumes have changed.
My wife Miriam and I visited our great-grandson Eliad’s
kindergarden for our “Torah Tweets” blogart project http://bibleblogyourlife.blogspot.com.
We photographed Eliad’s classmates Batman and Spiderman celebrating
the defeat of the genocidal intentions of ancient and present day enemies of
the Jews.
“For the Jews there was light, gladness, joy, and honor.”
(Esther 8:16)
