This (relatively) quick and easy recipe is really good and really disappearing!
As we were scrolling, I landed on a Purim video, which I clicked on because of the timing. Honestly, I almost skipped it because the chaos was too much even just from the frozen frame, but I didn’t, and the moment was adorable and definitely worth reliving. There were some moments in that day before the video was taken that I knew were not my favorites, but they were totally invisible from the isolated memory playing on my computer screen.
We sometimes joke that when we plan the Yom Tov issues, we gear each Yom Tov around an age range. Based on the age group that collectively gives that Yom Tov its greatest excitement and energy, we would gear Pesach toward the 50s, Shavuos the 20s, and Purim the 30s.
Maybe you’re 35 in real life and you make Pesach like a 50-year-old? Thats a compliment! And that’s why we call it a joke.
What’s not a joke is the fact that even with the Yamim Tovim that we don’t naturally connect to, we all do our best to somehow, in some way, find spurts of connection throughout the day. It’s worth looking back at those bits of connection when you’re gearing up for Purim — and to realize that those isolated moments are ultimately the most rewarding.
