This is a super special Shabbat coming up - Shabbat Zchor, when we wipe out the memory of Amalek. Amalek is the dark-side of sadness and depression, the worst form of spiritual impurity. Holiness is happiness - this weekend is the time to stock up on both.
As the Fast of Esther was early this year (Thursday), we enjoy the lights of Purim for a full 5 days, through this coming Monday.
Let's start partying right now. Here's Breslev's acclaimed clarinetist Chilik Frank to teach us the Breslev version of "Kel Adon," which we sing every Shabbat morning in Shacharit. Enjoy, and have a wonderful Shabbat.
