…w the gold, silver and copper were used. From this, we can assume that in ancient days, people were just as interested in transparency and accountability as we are today. Who gave what, and how was it used. And that’s how it should be. Donations should be used as promised, records should be kept, and there should be public accounting.

Purim is surely one of the most delightful holidays on the calendar. Purim is celebrated by making noise, playing games, feasting, reading the Megilla and using a mind-altering substance. Purim is a happy holiday. But there is also a very serious side of Purim: Oh Once there was a wicked, wicked man…
