RABBI WEIN ON POST-PURIM HANGOVER

Now that the holiday of Purim is safely behind us, many find themselves suffering from a state we call the hangover. There are those who are suffering from this hangover in a literal sense – too much drink, too much food…just too much. Well, a long nap and an analgesic to soothe the stomach and a cold compress for the headache will eventually provide relief for this type of post-Purim hangover. But I feel that there is a deeper, more persistent and much more painful discomfort that descends upon us after Purim.
