Drinking on Purim

Jump to Comments

One secret of the success of the Jewish people is “Love your fellow[Jew] as yourself.” Whenever Jews sitting together swallow a sip of hard liquor, immediately “when wine enters, secrets emerge,” so the love between them is strengthened.  This is the secret of the drinking on Purim. Haman accused us of being “a separated, scattered people,” without unity.  Each year we disprove him as we gather and solidify our unity. Great is the drinking of Purim, for it draws our hearts close to each other!  [Rebbe of Vorka] KabbalaOnline.org
