The Jewish leaders have congratulated their brothers in faith with Purim, which is believed to be the most joyful Jewish holiday, IA Interfax informs.

The Chief Rabbi of Russia Berl Lazar is sure that the main Purim lessen is an ability to discern the God’s scenario in everyday life. “We do not see the scene writer, but it does not mean that he does not exist!” the Rabbi believes.

The second lesson of the holiday is a reminder to everybody about personal responsibility for this scenario. Everybody has roles written specially for them, Berl Lazar added. He wished all the Jews strength and certainty that would turn into a source of joy.

Purim is celebrated in honor of the miraculous deliverance of the Jews during the realm of the Persian King Artaxerxes from death after the idea of the courtier Aman. As the Head of the Russia’s Jewish Communities Alexander Boroda has underlined, this is not the only case in history of the miraculous salvation of the Jewish people.
