Cause Today is Also Purim

Purim, IMHO, teaches us Unity, Faith, Responsibility, and Action. All Jews were in it together. To overcome our fears we had to believe that G-d's love for his people is eternal. Everyone had their own tasks and roles. Esther was not Mordechai, and Mordechai not Esther, but each had a unique job to do. This is the model for how we should live. It is my hope that by sharing my life I will force myself to review my actions and determine if I’m truly living up to the standards of a Purim Hero.

Canada Was Amazing, But I'm Tired, and My Feet Hurt (From Dancing)

Quick Post, then bed. NCSY Canada is a great region. I've been to quite a few, and while it is not Har Sinai region, it's the next best thing. The kids are Awesome, the Advisers where fantastic, and the program was successful. I'm bringing back quite a few good ideas. I have a feeling I'll be seeing more of Canada before my NCSY career is over.

On a side note, I just mailed in my acceptance letter to Chovevei next year. It's all happening for real. It's kind of unbelievable how everything has just fallen together all of a sudden (seemingly), but Hashem (G-d) works in incredible ways that I'll never truly understand. All I can do is say Thanks. Hodu L'Shem Ki Tov, Ki L'Olam Chasdo (Offer Praises to the Lord for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.)
