We are asking every person and every family, at their own level, to sign up and have a united communal re-acceptance at the highest intensity we’ve ever previously attained. There is no grading system, only  a simple inner self-introspection of where we are in our Jewish life. We will also work on our ‘brotherly love’ and come close to one another as we once were at better times of friendship so that we can once again experience that which we experienced in the past.

At one point or another each and every one of us accepted and committed to a certain lifestyle of keeping and observing a specific number of Mitzvos and customs.. We were M’Kabel (accepted) a certain level that unfortunately today we may not be living up to. One of the major points of the Purim story which is often overlooked and rarely emphasized was the Jews’ re-commitment to the Torah. In Megillas Esther 9:27 it states: ”Keeyimoo V’Kibloo”  - the Gemara derives Mah She’Kibloo Kvar.  “They fulfilled and accepted” that which they had already accepted, referring to the Torah given at Har Sinai. We have all accepted upon ourselves at one point in our lives - some earlier and others later - to commit to davening, to doing chessed, to watching what we eat, to being more aware of how we act towards each other, to curbing our lashon hora, and the list goes on. I am not here to dictate what people in the community should do, but I do want each and every person to take upon himself the highest level that they were once on and re-accept that level for the upcoming days leading to the holy day of Purim.
