This Thursday we celebrate Purim, a spiritually powerful day in which the original energies and potential of the first Purim are released and available for us to tap into. Among these, Purim is an eit ratzon, a favorable time. This is a time when our tefillot, (prayers), are welcomed and accepted.

During this week before the holiday, let us prepare ourselves spiritually and physically, making sure that we have what we need to fulfill the practical halachot (laws of the day).
