The Torah is very exacting: ‫הֶֽעָׁשִ֣יר ֹלֽא־יְַרּבֶ֗ה וְהַּדַל֙ ֹל֣א יַמְעִ֔יט מִּֽמַחֲצִ֖ית הַּׁשֶָ֑קל לָתֵת֙ אֶת־ּתְרּומַ֣ת יְהֹוָ֔ה לְכַּפֵ֖ר עַל־נַפְׁשֹתֵיכֶֽם‬ - The rich shall give no more, and the poor shall give no less than half a shekel, with which to give the offering to the Lord, to atone for your souls (30:15). Haman’s original charge to Achashvairosh was: ‫ ּבְכֹל מְִדינֹות‬,‫אֶחָד מְפֻּזָר ּומְפָֹרד ּבֵין הָעַּמִים‬-‫יֶׁשְנֹו עַם‬ ‫עָם‬-‫ מַלְכּותֶָ; וְָדתֵיהֶם ׁשֹנֹות מִּכָל‬- there is one nation scattered and dispersed throughout the nations, in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their religion is different from all other nations (Esther 3:8).

Even though we speak a plethora of languages, even though we are inhabitants of different lands, even though we look different - one may be short and dark, the other tall and blond - even though we live in varying and unequal social and economic conditions - one may dwell in a magni cent palace and the other in a miserable hovel - we still share the same fate. Soloveitchik, the Rav, zt’l, teaches: “Our fate does not distinguish between aristocrats and common folk, between rich and poor, between a prince garbed in royal purple and a pauper begging from door to door, between a pietist and an assimilationist. ‘Do not imagine that you can escape to the king’s palace from the fate of all the Jews.’ Both Queen Esther, garbed in royal apparel, a
