Description

A pre-Purim shiur at KINS in Chicago, exploring the meaning and spiritual potential of Purim, through a careful look at what seem like technical details of making a megilla, but turn out to also be keys to appreciating that Purim prepares us for a change in how Hashem relates to us and how we find Him.
