                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Hannah Spiro, Hill Havurah, Washington, D.C., offered the 
following prayer:
  Creator of all, at this time when Jews around the world are preparing 
for Purim--for a time of confronting hate and persecution with courage, 
pride, and a sense of humor--help us find that laughter and that love 
for ourselves and one another, even when the world seems to be crashing 
down around us.
  When the world is upside down, teach us how to cartwheel, audaciously 
adapting and returning rooted, always back to who we truly are.
  May our bold open-heartedness bring forth a world of peace, of 
righteousness, and of jubilation for our families, for our communities, 
for our Nation, and for all who dwell on Earth.
  We know that every soul deserves peace. We know that every soul 
deserves celebration. May we be Your vessels to bring that time about 
quickly and in our day.
  And let us say:
  Amen.
