One of the most exciting elements of Purim, for many children (and even adults), is the opportunity to dress up in costumes. It is a chance to dress up as your favorite iconic character, or unlock your creative juices and design something from scratch. When wearing a costume, or more specifically a mask, one can pretend to be different people and try on different character traits for the day. It’s fun, energizing and sometimes liberating. But sometimes, as in the story of Purim, the mask is used to conceal and hide what is underneath, and that sometimes people are not who they seem.

 “Their goal is to silence our power. They do not want men and women to pray together at the Kotel; they want the education system in Israel to recognize only orthodox Judaism, and they do not want synagogues to allow women to serve as prayer leaders.” This was the rallying cry at the Conservative movement’s conference held in advance of the upcoming World Zionist elections.

The upcoming World Zionist Congress election represents a critical juncture for our collective future. As a candidate on the Aish Ha'am slate, I am calling on American Jews to recognize the profound impact your vote will have on shaping the priorities that guide Israel and Jewish communities globally.
