BONUS: Swimming in Tech Debt — Practical Techniques to Keep Your Team from Drowning in Its Codebase In this fascinating conversation, veteran software engineer and author Lou Franco shares hard-won lessons from decades at startups, Trello, and Atlassian. We explore his book "Swimming in Tech Debt," diving deep into the 8 Questions framework for evaluating tech debt decisions, personal practices that compound over time, team-level strategies for systematic improvement, and leadership approaches that balance velocity with sustainability. Lou reveals why tech debt is often the result of success, how to navigate the spectrum between ignoring debt and rewriting too much, and practical techniques individuals, teams, and leaders can use starting today. The Exit Interview That Changed Everything "We didn't go slower by paying tech debt. We went actually faster, because we were constantly in that code, and now we didn't have to run into problems." — Lou Franco   Lou's understanding of tech debt crystallized during an exit interview at Atalasoft, a small startup where he'd spent years. An engineer leaving the company confronted him: "You guys don't care about tech debt." Lou had been focused on shipping features, believing that paying tech debt would slow them down. But this engineer told a different story — when they finally fixed their terrible build and installation system, they actually sped up. They were constantly touching that code, and removing the friction made everything easier. This moment revealed a fundamental truth: tech debt isn't just about code quality or engineering pride. It's about velocity, momentum, and the ability to move fast sustainably. Lou carried this lesson through his career at Trello (where he learned the dangers of rewriting too much) and Atlassian (where he saw enterprise-scale tech debt management). These experiences became the foundation for "Swimming in Tech Debt." Tech Debt Is the Result of Success "Tech debt is often the result of success. Unsuccessful projects don't have tech debt." — Lou Franco   This reframes the entire conversation about tech debt. Failed products don't accumulate debt — they disappear before it matters. Tech debt emerges when your code survives long enough to outlive its original assumptions, when your user base grows beyond initial expectations, when your team scales faster than your architecture anticipated. At Atalasoft, they built for 10 users and got 100. At Trello, mobile usage exploded beyond their web-first assumptions. Success creates tech debt by changing the context in which code operates. This means tech debt conversations should happen at different intensities depending on where you are in the product lifecycle. Early startups pursuing product-market fit should minimize tech debt investments — move fast, learn, potentially throw away the code. Growth-stage companies need balanced approaches. Mature products benefit significantly from tech debt investments because operational efficiency compounds over years. Understanding this lifecycle perspective helps teams make appropriate decisions rather than applying one-size-fits-all rules. The 8 Questions Framework for Tech Debt Decisions "Those 8 questions guide you to what you should do. If it's risky, has regressions, and you don't even know if it's gonna work, this is when you're gonna do a project spike." — Lou Franco   Lou introduces a systematic framework for evaluating whether to pay tech debt, inspired by Bob Moesta's push-pull forces from product management. The 8 questions create a complete picture:   Visibility — Will people outside the team understand what we're doing? Alignment — Does this match our engineering values and target architecture? Resistance — How hard is this code to work with right now? Volatility — How often do we touch this code? Regression Risk — What's the chance we'll introduce new problems? Project Size — How big is this to fix? Estimate Risk — How uncertain are we about the effort required? Outcome Uncertainty — How confident are we the fix will actually improve things?   High volatility and high resistance with low regression risk? Pay the debt now. High regression risk with no tests? Write tests first, then reassess. Uncertain outcomes on a big project? Do a spike or proof of concept. The framework prevents both extremes — ignoring costly debt and undertaking risky rewrites without proper preparation. Personal Practices That Compound Daily "When I sit down at my desk, the first thing I do is I pay a little tech debt. I'm looking at code, I'm about to change it, do I even understand it? Am I having some kind of resistance to it? Put in a little helpful comment, maybe a little refactoring." — Lou Franco   Lou shares personal habits that create compounding improvements over time. Start each coding session by paying a small amount of tech debt in the area you're about to work — add a clarifying comment, extract a confusing variable, improve a function name. This warms you up, reduces friction for your actual work, and leaves the code slightly better than you found it. The clean-as-you-go philosophy means tech debt never accumulates faster than you can manage it. But Lou's most powerful practice comes at the end of each session: mutation testing by hand. Before finishing for the day, deliberately break something — change a plus to minus, a less-than to less-than-or-equal. See if tests catch it. Often they don't, revealing gaps in test coverage. The key insight: don't fix it immediately. Leave that failing test as the bridge to tomorrow's coding session. It connects today's momentum to tomorrow's work, ensuring you always start with context and purpose rather than cold-starting each day. Mutation Testing: Breaking Things on Purpose "Before I'm done working on a coding session, I break something on purpose. I'll change a plus to a minus, a less than to a less than equals, and see if tests break. A lot of times tests don't break. Now you've found a problem in your test." — Lou Franco   Manual mutation testing — deliberately breaking code to verify tests catch the break — reveals a critical gap in most test suites. You can have 100% code coverage and still have untested behavior. A line of code that's executed during tests isn't necessarily tested — the test might not actually verify what that line does. By changing operators, flipping booleans, or altering constants, you discover whether your tests protect against actual logic errors or just exercise code paths. Lou recommends doing this manually as part of your daily practice, but automated tools exist for systematic discovery: Stryker (for JavaScript, C#, Scala) and MutMut (for Python) can mutate your entire codebase and report which mutations survive uncaught. This isn't just about test quality — it's about understanding what your code actually does and building confidence that changes won't introduce subtle bugs. Team-Level Practices: Budgets, Backlogs, and Target Architecture "Create a target architecture document — where would we be if we started over today? Every PR is an opportunity to move slightly toward that target." — Lou Franco   At the team level, Lou advocates for three interconnected practices. First, create a target architecture document that describes where you'd be if starting fresh today — not a detailed design, but architectural patterns, technology choices, and structural principles that represent current best practices. This isn't a rewrite plan; it's a North Star. Every pull request becomes an opportunity to move incrementally toward that target when touching relevant code. Second, establish a budget split between PM-led feature work and engineering-led tech debt work — perhaps 80/20 or whatever ratio fits your product lifecycle stage. This creates predictable capacity for tech debt without requiring constant negotiation. Third, hold quarterly tech debt backlog meetings separate from sprint planning. Treat this backlog like PMs treat product discovery — explore options, estimate impacts, prioritize based on the 8 Questions framework. Some items fit in sprints; others require dedicated engineers for a quarter or two. This systematic approach prevents tech debt from being perpetually deprioritized while avoiding the opposite extreme of engineers disappearing into six-month "improvement" projects with no visible progress. The Atlassian Five-Alarm Fire "The Atlassian CTO's 'five-alarm fire' — stopping all feature development to focus on reliability. I reduced sync errors by 75% during that initiative." — Lou Franco   Lou shares a powerful example of leadership-driven tech debt management at scale. The Atlassian CTO called a "five-alarm fire" — halting all feature development across the company to focus exclusively on reliability and tech debt. This wasn't panic; it was strategic recognition that accumulated debt threatened the business. Lou worked on reducing sync errors, achieving a 75% reduction during this focused period. The initiative demonstrated several leadership principles: willingness to make hard calls that stop revenue-generating feature work, clear communication of why reliability matters strategically, trust that teams will use the time wisely, and commitment to see it through despite pressure to resume features. This level of intervention is rare and shouldn't be frequent, but it shows what's possible when leadership truly prioritizes tech debt. More commonly, leaders should express product lifecycle constraints (startup urgency vs. mature product stability), give teams autonomy to find appropriate projects within those constraints, and require accountability through visible metrics and dashboards that show progress. The Rewrite Trap: Why Big Rewrites Usually Fail "A system that took 10 years to write has implicit knowledge that can't be replicated in 6 months. I'm mostly gonna advocate for piecemeal migrations along the way, reducing the size of the problem over time." — Lou Franco   Lou lived through Trello's iOS navigation rewrite — a classic example of throwing away working code to start fresh, only to discover all the edge cases, implicit behaviors, and user expectations baked into the "old" system. A codebase that evolved over several years contains implicit knowledge — user workflows, edge case handling, performance optimizations, and subtle behaviors that users rely on even if they never explicitly requested them. Attempting to rewrite this in six months inevitably misses critical details. Lou strongly advocates for piecemeal migrations instead. The Trello "Decaffeinate Project" exemplifies this approach — migrating from CoffeeScript to TypeScript incrementally, with public dashboards showing the percentage remaining, interoperable technologies allowing gradual transition, and the ability to pause or reverse if needed. Keep both systems running in parallel during migrations. Use runtime observability to verify new code behaves identically to old code. Reduce the problem size steadily over months rather than attempting big-bang replacements. The only exception: sometimes keeping parallel systems requires scaffolding that creates its own complexity, so evaluate whether piecemeal migration is actually simpler or if you're better off living with the current system. Making Tech Debt Visible Through Dashboards "Put up a dashboard, showing it happen. Make invisible internal improvements visible through metrics engineering leadership understands." — Lou Franco   One of tech debt's biggest challenges is invisibility — non-technical stakeholders can't see the improvement from refactoring or test coverage. Lou learned to make tech debt work visible through dashboards and metrics. The Decaffeinate Project tracked percentage of CoffeeScript files remaining, providing a clear progress indicator anyone could understand. When reducing sync errors, Lou created dashboards showing error rates declining over time. These visualizations serve multiple purposes: they demonstrate value to leadership, create accountability for engineering teams, build momentum as progress becomes visible, and help teams celebrate wins that would otherwise go unnoticed. The key is choosing metrics that matter to the business — error rates, page load times, deployment frequency, mean time to recovery — rather than pure code quality metrics like cyclomatic complexity that don't translate outside engineering. Connect tech debt work to customer experience, reliability, or developer productivity in ways leadership can see and value. Onboarding as a Tech Debt Opportunity "Unit testing is a really great way to learn a system. It's like an executable specification that's helping you prove that you understand the system." — Lou Franco   Lou identifies onboarding as an underutilized opportunity for tech debt reduction. When new engineers join, they need to learn the codebase. Rather than just reading code or shadowing, Lou suggests having them write unit tests in areas they're learning. This serves dual purposes: tests are executable specifications that prove understanding of system behavior, and they create safety nets in areas that likely lack coverage (otherwise, why would new engineers be confused by the code?). The new engineer gets hands-on learning, the team gets better test coverage, and everyone wins. This practice also surfaces confusing code — if new engineers struggle to understand what to test, that's a signal the code needs clarifying comments, better naming, or refactoring. Make onboarding a systematic tech debt reduction opportunity rather than passive knowledge transfer. Leadership's Role: Constraints, Autonomy, and Accountability "Leadership needs to express the constraints. Tell the team what you're feeling about tech debt at a high level, and what you think generally is the appropriate amount of time to be spent on it. Then give them autonomy." — Lou Franco   Lou distills leadership's role in tech debt management to three elements. First, express constraints — communicate where you believe the product is in its lifecycle (early startup, rapid growth, mature cash cow) and what that means for tech debt tolerance. Are we pursuing product-market fit where code might be thrown away? Are we scaling a proven product where reliability matters? Are we maintaining a stable system where operational efficiency pays dividends? These constraints help teams make appropriate trade-offs. Second, give autonomy — once constraints are clear, trust teams to identify specific tech debt projects that fit those constraints. Engineers understand the codebase's pain points better than leaders do. Third, require accountability — teams must make their work visible through dashboards, metrics, and regular updates. Autonomy without accountability becomes invisible engineering projects that might not deliver value. Accountability without autonomy becomes micromanagement that wastes engineering judgment. The balance creates space for teams to make smart decisions while keeping leadership informed and confident in the investment. AI and the Future of Tech Debt "I really do AI-assisted software engineering. And by that, I mean I 100% review every single line of that code. I write the tests, and all the code is as I would have written it, it's just a lot faster. Developers are still responsible for it. Read the code." — Lou Franco   Lou has a chapter about AI in his book, addressing the elephant in the room: will AI-generated code create massive tech debt? His answer is nuanced. AI can accelerate development tremendously if used correctly — Lou uses it extensively but reviews every single line, writes all tests himself, and ensures the code matches what he would have written manually. The problem emerges with "vibe coders" — non-developers using AI to generate code they don't understand, creating unmaintainable messes that become someone else's problem. Developers remain responsible for all code, regardless of how it's generated. This means you must read and understand AI-generated code, not blindly accept it. Lou also raises supply chain security concerns — dependencies can contain malicious code, and AI might introduce vulnerabilities developers miss. His recommendation: stay six months behind on dependency updates, let others discover the problems first, and consider separate sandboxed development machines to limit security exposure. AI is a powerful tool, but it doesn't eliminate the need for engineering judgment, testing discipline, or code review practices. The Style Guide Beyond Formatting "Have a style guide that goes beyond formatting to include target architecture. This is the kind of code we want to write going forward." — Lou Franco   Lou advocates for style guides that extend beyond tabs-versus-spaces formatting rules to include architectural guidance. Document patterns you want to move toward: how should components be structured, what state management approaches do we prefer, how should we handle errors, what testing patterns should we follow? This creates a shared understanding of the target architecture without requiring a massive design document. When reviewing pull requests, teams can reference the style guide to explain why certain approaches align with where the codebase is headed versus perpetuating old patterns. This makes tech debt conversations less personal and more objective — it's not about criticizing someone's code, it's about aligning with team standards and strategic direction. The style guide becomes a living document that evolves as the team learns and technology changes, capturing collective wisdom about what good code looks like in your specific context.

This show has been flagged as Explicit by the host. Overview Several years ago I wrote a Bash script to perform a task I need to perform almost every day - find the newest file in a series of files. At this point I was running a camera on a Raspberry Pi which was attached to a window and viewed my back garden. I was taking a picture every 15 minutes, giving them names containing the date and time, and storing them in a directory. It was useful to be able to display the latest picture. Since then, I have found that searching for newest files useful in many contexts: Find the image generated by my random recipe chooser, put in the clipboard and send it to the Telegram channel for my family. Generate a weather report from wttr.in and send it to Matrix. Find the screenshot I just made and put it in the clipboard. Of course, I could just use the same name when writing these various files, rather than accumulating several, but I often want to look back through such collections. If I am concerned about such files accumulating in an unwanted way I write cron scripts which run every day and delete the oldest ones. Original script The first iteration of the script was actually written as a Bash function which was loaded at login time. The function is called newest_matching_file and it takes two arguments: A file glob expression to match the file I am looking for. An optional directory to look for the file. If this is omitted, then the current directory will be used. The first version of this function was a bit awkward since it used a for loop to scan the directory, using the glob pattern to find the file. Since Bash glob pattern searches will return the search pattern when they fail, it was necessary to use the nullglob (see references) option to prevent this, turning it on before the search and off afterwards. This technique was replaced later with a pipeline using the find command. Improved Bash script The version using find is what I will explain here. function newest_matching_file { local glob_pattern=${1-} local dir=${2:-$PWD} # Argument number check if [[ $# -eq 0 || $# -gt 2 ]]; then echo 'Usage: newest_matching_file GLOB_PATTERN [DIR]' >&2 return 1 fi # Check the target directory if [[ ! -d $dir ]]; then echo "Unable to find directory $dir" >&2 return 1 fi local newest_file # shellcheck disable=SC2016 newest_file=$(find "$dir" -maxdepth 1 -name "$glob_pattern" \ -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/.\+ //;p}') # Use printf instead of echo in case the file name begins with '-' [[ -n $newest_file ]] && printf '%s\n' "$newest_file" return 0 } The function is in the file newest_matching_file_1.sh , and it's loaded ("sourced", or declared) like this: . newest_matching_file_1.sh The '.' is a short-hand version of the command source . I actually have two versions of this function, with the second one using a regular expression, which the find command is able to search with, but I prefer this one. Explanation The first two lines beginning with local define variables local to the function holding the arguments. The first, glob_pattern is expected to contain something like screenshot_2025-04-*.png . The second will hold the directory to be scanned, or if omitted, will be set to the current directory. Next, an if statement checks that there are the right number of arguments, aborting if not. Note that the echo command writes to STDERR (using '>&2' ), the error channel. Another if statement checks that the target directory actually exists, and aborts if not. Another local variable newest_file is defined. It's good practice not to create global variables in functions since they will "leak" into the calling environment. The variable newest_file is set to the result of a command substitution containing a pipeline: The find command searches the target directory. Using -maxdepth 1 limits the search to the chosen directory and does not descend into sub-directories. The search pattern is defined by -name "$glob_pattern" Using -type f limits the search to files The -printf "%T@ %p\n" argument returns the file's last modification time as the number of seconds since the Unix epoch '%T@' . This is a number which is larger if the file is older. This is followed, after a space, by the full path to the file ( '%p' ), and a newline. The matching file names are sorted. Because each is preceded by a numeric time value, they will be sorted in ascending order of age. Finally sed is used to return the last file in the sorted list with the program '${s/.\+ //;p}' : The use of the -n option ensures that only lines which are explicitly printed will be shown. The sed program looks for the last line (using '$' ). When found the leading numeric time is removed with ' s/.\+ //' and the result is printed (with 'p' ). The end result will either be the path to the newest file or nothing (because there was no match). The expression '[[ -n $newest_file ]]' will be true if $newest_file variable is not empty, and if that is the case, the contents of the variable will be printed on STDOUT, otherwise nothing will be printed. Note that the script returns 1 (false) if there is a failure, and 0 (true) if all is well. A null return is regarded as success. Script update While editing the audio for this show I realised that there is a flaw in the Bash function newest_matching_file . This is in the sed script used to process the output from find . The sed commands used in the script delete all characters up to a space, assuming that this is the only space in the last line. However, if the file name itself contains spaces, this will not work because regular expressions in sed are greedy . What is deleted in this case is everything up to and including the last space. I created a directory called tests and added the following files: 'File 1 with spaces.txt' 'File 2 with spaces.txt' 'File 3 with spaces.txt' I then ran the find command as follows: $ find tests -maxdepth 1 -name 'File*' -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/.\+ //;p}' spaces.txt I adjusted the sed call to sed -ne '${s/[^ ]\+ //;p}' . This uses the regular expression: s/[^ ]\+ // This now specifies that what it to be removed is every non-space up to and including the first space. The result is: $ find tests -maxdepth 1 -name 'File*' -type f -printf "%T@ %p\n" | sort | sed -ne '${s/[^ ]\+ //;p}' tests/File 3 with spaces.txt This change has been propagated to the copy on GitLab . Usage This function is designed to be used in commands or other scripts. For example, I have an alias defined as follows: alias copy_screenshot="xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i \$(newest_matching_file 'Screenshot_*.png' ~/Pictures/Screenshots/)" This uses xclip to load the latest screenshot into the clipboard, so I can paste it into a social media client for example. Perl alternative During the history of this family of scripts I wrote a Perl version. This was originally because the Bash function gave problems when run under the Bourne shell, and I was using pdmenu a lot which internally runs scripts under that shell. #!/usr/bin/env perl use v5.40; use open ':std', ':encoding(UTF-8)'; # Make all IO UTF-8 use Cwd; use File::Find::Rule; # # Script name # ( my $PROG = $0 ) =~ s|.*/||mx; # # Use a regular expression rather than a glob pattern # my $regex = shift; # # Get the directory to search, defaulting to the current one # my $dir = shift // getcwd(); # # Have to have the regular expression # die "Usage: $PROG regex [DIR]\n" unless $regex; # # Collect all the files in the target directory without recursing. Include the # path and let the caller remove it if they want. # my @files = File::Find::Rule->file() ->name(qr/$regex/) ->maxdepth(1) ->in($dir); die "Unsuccessful search\n" unless @files; # # Sort the files by ascending modification time, youngest first # @files = sort {-M($a) -M($b)} @files; # # Report the one which sorted first # say $files[0]; exit; Explanation This is fairly straightforward Perl script, run out of an executable file with a shebang line at the start indicating what is to be used to run it - perl . The preamble defines the Perl version to use, and indicates that UTF-8 (character sets like Unicode) will be acceptable for reading and writing. Two modules are required: Cwd : provides functions for determining the pathname of the current working directory. File::Find::Rule : provides tools for searching the file system (similar to the find command, but with more features). Next the variable $PROG is set to the name under which the script has been invoked. This is useful when giving a brief summary of usage. The first argument is then collected (with shift ) and placed into the variable $regex . The second argument is optional, but if omitted, is set to the current working directory. We see the use of shift again, but if this returns nothing (is undefined), the '//' operator invokes the getcwd() function to get the current working directory. If the $regex variable is not defined, then die is called to terminate the script with an error message. The search itself is invoked using File::Find::Rule and the results are added to the array @files . The multi-line call shows several methods being called in a "chain" to define the rules and invoke the search: file() : sets up a file search name(qr/$regex/) : a rule which applies a regular expression match to each file name, rejecting any that do not match maxdepth(1) : a rule which prevents the search from descending below the top level into sub-directories in($dir) : defines the directory to search (and also begins the search) If the search returns no files (the array is empty), the script ends with an error message. Otherwise the @files array is sorted. This is done by comparing modification times of the files, with the array being reordered such that the "youngest" (newest) file is sorted first. The operator checks if the value of the left operand is greater than the value of the right operand, and if yes then the condition becomes true. This operator is most useful in the Perl sort function. Finally, the newest file is reported. Usage This script can be used in almost the same way as the Bash variant. The difference is that the pattern used to match files is a Perl regular expression. I keep this script in my ~/bin directory, so it can be invoked just by typing its name. I also maintain a symlink called nmf to save typing! The above example, using the Perl version, would be: alias copy_screenshot="xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i \$(nmf 'Screenshot_.*\.png' ~/Pictures/Screenshots/)" In regular expressions '.*' means "any character zero or more times". The '.' in '.png' is escaped because we need an actual dot character. Conclusion The approach in both cases is fairly simple. Files matching a pattern are accumulated, in the Bash case including the modification time. The files are sorted by modification time and the one with the lowest time is the answer. The Bash version has to remove the modification time before printing. This algorithm could be written in many ways. I will probably try rewriting it in other languages in the future, to see which one I think is best.

Full Text of ReadingsThursday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 288The Saint of the day is Saint Rita of CasciaSaint Rita of Cascia's Story Like Elizabeth Ann Seton, Rita of Cascia was a wife, mother, widow, and member of a religious community. Her holiness was reflected in each phase of her life. Born at Roccaporena in central Italy, Rita wanted to become a nun but was pressured at a young age into marrying a harsh and cruel man. During her 18-year marriage, she bore and raised two sons. After her husband was killed in a brawl and her sons had died, Rita tried to join the Augustinian nuns in Cascia. Unsuccessful at first because she was a widow, Rita eventually succeeded. Over the years, her austerity, prayerfulness, and charity became legendary. When she developed wounds on her forehead, people quickly associated them with the wounds from Christ's crown of thorns. She meditated frequently on Christ's passion. Her care for the sick nuns was especially loving. She also counseled lay people who came to her monastery. Beatified in 1626, Rita was not canonized until 1900. She has acquired the reputation, together with Saint Jude, as a saint of impossible cases. Many people visit her tomb each year. Reflection Although we can easily imagine an ideal world in which to live out our baptismal vocation, such a world does not exist. An “If only ….” approach to holiness never quite gets underway, never produces the fruit that God has a right to expect. Rita became holy because she made choices that reflected her baptism and her growth as a disciple of Jesus. Her overarching, lifelong choice was to cooperate generously with God's grace, but many small choices were needed to make that happen. Few of those choices were made in ideal circumstances—not even when Rita became an Augustinian nun.

The Foolish Bird and the Eternal People: Understanding Haman's Failed Strategy

Daily Jewish Thought

The Midrash compares Haman's plot against the Jews to a foolish bird attempting to drain the sea, beakful by beakful. At first glance, this fable highlights the impossibility of eradicating the Jewish people. But upon deeper examination, it reveals the secret of Jewish survival, the core reason for antisemitism, and the unbreakable bond between the Jewish soul and Torah. Haman's mistake was in thinking that severing Jews from Torah would make them vulnerable to destruction—yet, as history has shown, even when Jews have drifted from their spiritual roots, their intrinsic connection to G-d and Torah remains. This class explores why the Jewish people have endured against all odds and what this means for our own Jewish identity today.Key Takeaways:The Midrash's Metaphor – Haman's attempt to destroy the Jews was as foolish as a bird trying to empty an ocean. But why? This metaphor reveals deeper truths about Jewish resilience.The Secret of Antisemitism – Haman, like many persecutors throughout history, saw Jewish existence as a threat. Why have so many tyrants sought to destroy the Jewish people?The Relationship Between Jews and Torah – The Torah is to Jews what water is to fish. Even when Jews drift, they cannot fully detach from their Divine essence.G-d's ‘Unsuccessful' Plan – The Midrash states that even G-d could not destroy the Jewish people. What does this mean, and what does it teach us about the Jewish soul?Haman's ‘Final Solution' – His real plan wasn't just genocide—it was to dry up the Jewish connection to Torah and assimilate them into Persian society. This strategy failed, just as all others have throughout history.The Eternal Bond – The Jews have outlived every empire that sought their destruction, proving that their essence is eternal.A Call to Jewish Unity – If a Jew was Jewish enough for Hitler to send to the gas chambers, he is Jewish enough for us to love and embrace. Jewish survival is not just a historical fact—it is a personal responsibility.#Purim #Jewish #Antisemitism #Judaism #Faith #Rabbi #chabad #Jewishsurvival #Torah #BookofEsther #MegillahSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
