After we read the Megillah, we say a bracha describing Hashem as fighting our battles, judging our claims, and bringing justice.But the story happened thousands of years ago.So why is the blessing in the present tense?Because Purim isn’t just history.It’s the story of Galus — living in a world where Hashem’s hand is hidden, but still guiding everything.A powerful reminder that even today, Hashem is still fighting for us.Wishing you a freilichen Purim and a wonderful Shabbos.#purim#megillah#emunah#jewishwisdom#galus#torahthought
