Description

A daily mini-shiur on the book of Esther, in the merit of the soldiers of the IDF, as well as the hostages, wounded and everyone in the line of fire. Today's installment asks why the Megillah spends so much time telling us about Achashverosh's two parties, and sees a midrashic approach: It's to emphasize Jewish life in exile, as Achashverosh celebrates the defeat of the Jews, and the Jews participate at the parties.
