David Seliverstov: In Azerbaijan, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate Jewish holidays in a very special atmosphere

David Seliverstov, Director of the Human Rights Center and Charitable Society “Magen David Azerbaijan,” commented on the upcoming Purim holiday:

In Azerbaijan, we have a unique opportunity to celebrate Jewish holidays in a very special atmosphere.

Here, traditions of different peoples and religions coexist with each other, creating an amazing cultural heritage. The holiday of Purim, for example, is a time of fun and joy that we celebrate with family and friends, but it is important to note that in Azerbaijan this holiday is also imbued with the spirit of mutual assistance and solidarity. This gives a special touch to our celebrations. We recently carried out one of the important teachings of the Purim holiday by distributing aid to 107 families of martyrs. This act was a shining example of how the holidays can inspire us to do good and help those in need. In Azerbaijan, thanks to openness and mutual understanding, supporting each other becomes an integral part of our holidays. I believe that the collision of three events, such as the holiday of Novruz, the holy month of Ramadan and the holiday of Purim, is a unique combination of influences, mutual culture and deep understanding. In Azerbaijan, we celebrate holidays in a spirit of tolerance and cordiality, which makes our holidays truly exceptional for everyone who participates in them.

On this special day, may the joy of Purim permeate our hearts, filling them with light and warmth. May our good deeds and generosity continue to spread, bringing joy and hope to all who need our help.

I just want to invite everyone to join us in this wonderful holiday and share the joy and warmth that we meet in Azerbaijan. This is a place where cultures merge into unity, and where everyone can find a place for themselves in this colorful mosaic.
