The Scroll of Esther narrates the remarkable story of planned genocide of the Jewish People, and the ensuing, statistically impossible confluence of events, unmistakably recognized miraculous Divine deliverance. Intriguingly, one particular verse receives seemingly inordinate year-round attention. The quest to appreciate its deeper meaning leads to shedding light on the importance and potency of joy, as mystical insight about our dynamic relationship with G-d, also teaches how joyous...

Making an offer the King can't refuse; a fortune to allow genocide of the Jews. Shockingly, the “pay for slay,” is declined: “keep your silver, and do as you please” he counters! Clearly the monarch is also a vicious anti-Semites, yet their prevailing attitudes seems so disparate. An enigmatic metaphor is presented: two landowners with mirror-image issues – one landowner struggles with a superfluous mound, while...

The famous holiday gifts of edibles have become emblematic of Purim's joyous celebrations. Since antiquity, and regardless of geography they've been festooned and decorated – arguably unlike any other mitzvah we fulfil. Here we seek to understand the deeper rhyme, reason and jurisprudence of this unique rabbinic ordained observance. By tracing earliest origins, and noting its understated documentation, we arrive at a profound new appreciation of its purpose and...

"Haman’s Crushing Downfall"
Narrating the Prime Minister’s carrying out the unambiguous orders he received, this verse reads straightforwardly – devoid of encoded nuance, and unadorned by copious commentary or annotation. Yet, per sacred tradition the dramatic details were recorded. Dignity demolished, Haman gut wrenchingly does the king's bidding. Falling from his high office, he’s swiftly devolved into a common...

"Haman’s Hasty Humiliation"
The divinely designed drama continues to unfold in stunning speed. The political landscape rapidly shifts; as now the conspiracy-theorist Monarch decides it's time to humiliate his formally trusted and beloved, anti-Semitic Prime Minister. “Quickly do everything you propose for Mordechai, my court Jew” he forcefully commands. Our oral tradition attests to the Haman’s desperate attempts...
