Did you know that there is a hidden clue to Purim in this week's parsha - Parshat Ki Tisa?

Shemot 34.30-33 "...Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses and behold! the skin of his face had become radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. ...he placed a covering over his face." (Moshe Rabbeinu wore a mask.)

Purim/Pesach is prime redemption time and the globe is hopping so here is a rundown of what's happening out there...

Huge solar flare jams radio, satellite signals: NASA
WASHINGTON (AFP) – A powerful solar eruption that has already disturbed radio communications in China could disrupt electrical power grids and satellites used on Earth in the next days, NASA said.

The massive sunspot, which astronomers say is the size of Jupiter, is the strongest solar flare in four years, NASA said Wednesday.

The Class X flash -- the largest such category -- erupted at 0156 GMT Tuesday, according to the US space agency.

"X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events that can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms," disturbing telecommunications and electric grids, NASA said.
