The Bible book of Esther records the celebration of Purim, commemorating the victory of Jews living in exile in ancient Persia over those who wanted to exterminate them. This year, it lands on Friday, March 14, 2025. This congregation commemorates it on the Shabbat just before, because of scheduling conflicts with our host location.

This week’s Torah reading
- Readings: April 5, 2025Genesis 26:12–35 focuses on Isaac’s Heaven-granted prosperity and the resulting envy from the Philistines, leading to disputes over water wells. Parallel passage Isaiah 65:23–66:8 prophesies a future of divine blessings and the birth of a renewed Zion. Another parallel, Romans 9:6–18, discusses God’s sovereign election of Isaac over Esau, emphasizing that true descendants of Abraham are identified through faith, not merely by lineage. These passages collectively highlight themes of divine promise, conflict and God’s selective favor, which culminate in the New Testament revelation of Yeshua haMashiakh (Jesus the Christ) as the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
