The Morning After: A Megillah Retrospective

 
By Rabbi David Fohrman / A Multi-Week Series Beginning Sunday, May 18th

We often don’t give that much thought to the Book of Esther. We pay attention to it for a week or two before Purim, mostly in connection with questions not much more profound than which one of its characters we’d like to dress up as this year. But just beneath the surface, lies a story within a story with profound implications for the way each of us lives our life and manages our relationships with those who count.

In this series, we will take a hard, pragmatic look at the tale that is told in the Book of Esther – asking ourselves how the story could have ended differently, and what it means to us that it in fact, does not end in these ways. Along the way, we will trace themes and threads that will take us back to the Books of Genesis, Numbers, Judges, and Samuel – and will find, quite astoundingly, that the Book of Esther represents a kind of culmination of all them. Join us for what promises to be a very exciting journey.
