That’s this week’s scoop 🎭

Purim only comes once a year. Show up loud. Wear the costume. Make noise when Haman’s name gets mentioned.

If you make it to even one of these - and leave with a new friend, a new connection, or just a better story - then this did its job.

And if someone in your life keeps saying, “I didn’t even know that was happening…” send this their way. No gatekeeping.

Back Monday with what’s next.
