Dear Readers,

We approach Purim. In many of the countries we live in carnival music can be heard, as masks and costumes cover faces in identity games of an aesthetic bent. Our masks both celebrate and occult, while not joy, fear perhaps: Then as now we changed the course of destiny ("Pur"). It is the hope of JCCenters.org that an attentive and alert state of being be no cause for fear, and that joy continue to be our dominant emotion.
