Purim Sameach

Every year on Purim we read Megillat Esther.  In one sentence, the book (or scroll) tells the story of how right before they were to be massacred, the tables were turned and the Jewish people were saved.
For many people, the story is uplifting, their belief in God is strengthened and they appreciate and trust God and the plan he has for us.
Other people feel very uncomfortable with the occurrences of this dramatic tale.  They think that the tables were turned a little too far and that the Jews did a little too much massacring themselves.
Sound familiar?

Whatever your take is on the story and whether for you Purim is a spiritual adventure or merely a sudden burst of color, music, and funny looking people,  I hope you have a very joyful one.
