Description

Pre-Purim shiur delivered at the Jewish Center (March 2014). We explore the themes of the Megillah as understood by Jews living in the late Bayit Sheni period, and attempted to discover what other works of the Bayit Sheni period - not in our canon - can tell us about the message of Megillat Esther.
