מלחמת הצבעים

At the risk of being מערב שמחה בשמחה, there is also great excitement in the air about the color war that was broken out on Thursday (if you didn't hear yet it was).  It's very appropriate that we have color war during the most colorful פרשיות in the Torah - the end of תרומה & תצוה, and heading into כי תשא (red, gold, copper), and the ויקהל & פקודי.  I once saw (I can't remember where) a nice explanation about why the main cloth colors were red, blue & purple.  He pointed out that red represents humanity, and blue symbolizes Hashem.  The purple is the combination of the two - the areas where we meet.  There is much rich Torah content to our next few days, highlighted of course by our 5th annual Chazara Bowl.  Have a wonderful Purim, but then, be in touch with your team leaders & see what you can do to start getting ready tomorrow.
