What is the real danger of intermingling? Is it about ethnic purity or ideological purity? Could it be that the horrors of the destruction of the temple we commemorate every year were brought on the Jews by the Jews themselves? Are we our own worst enemies? This is a hard pill to swallow but as we read through the mystery book, and delve into the story of Purim, it's apparent that much of the narrative we grew up on did not accurately reflect all that has happened. We'll be trying to align everything with the conditions set upon us by nature, as far back as that Babylonian exile and all the way to the recent viral outbreak. Could the unity of the heart be the panacea to all of our problems?

Seth: That's it. The rise and the ruin of the first temple. It's hardly a secret that the Jewish ego is well-developed, Lio, hardly a secret. Some will say it is too developed, but there are benefits to having a big ego, provided it is used correctly. Be that as it may, vowing to unite as one man with one heart is one thing. Living out that vow is a very different story. It is the ultimate test of human nature, and although the ancient Hebrews were bold enough to take on the challenge, they failed left and right. Every. That reminds. Lio: This is what we're up against, I think, isn't it? This question. I think if you bring it up to any Jewish person, look, you're chosen to do this thing. To unite above the growing ego.
