Purim is Comming

Haman told achasverosh that there is a people who is scattered among your nation. It was because there was no achdus in klal yisrael- we were a scattered people- that the bad decree could come about- to counteract this we give the gifts to increase rayus(friendship) as a tikon so that we should become united- Its best to give to people who are not your best friends.

Im trying to decide if I should go to Rabbi Lauer's daughter's wedding in Monsey. On the one hand I would go because it is kavod to Rabbi Lauer- On the other hand- If I was n't there- I wouldn't be missed. Mom is going to be in Israel then- Dr Last thinks Im justing trying to find reasons not to go- How do you vote- Should i go?
