On first reading, Mordechai's decision not to bow to Haman seems to have endangered the entire Jewish population. Was it foolhardy and irresponsible, or since he was the leader of a generation could we even entertain that is was the wrong thing to do? This question revolves around when does the mitzva of Kiddush HaShem apply, and under what circumstances must one sacrifice his life for it? Hear the core principles of this highly exalted trait and how it moved the Purim story as it did.

Purim is a funny and very unusual Jewish holiday! Rav Berkovits describes how we are to party till we no longer know what's up - or down. He takes us through the 'whole' Megillah and explains how this story teaches us to perceive the Divine puzzle of life in action.

Jews appreciate the many shades of joy. Yet Purim with its noise, wine, and merrymaking doesn't match any defined shade. Rabbi Berkovits shares a profound insight: how salvation is born from tragic events in our individual and collective history. One day each year, try celebrating sorrow with pure blind faith and a wide smile.

FE 553

Rabbi Feiner identifies seemingly unrelated Jewish symbols in the Purim story that help us spot the guiding hand of Hashem. Aspects he elaborates on include the sense of smell, the Zodiacal sign of Pisces, the image of Purim as a bed, and other concepts that indicate how, despite all we have going against us, we miraculously continue to survive.

KI 554
Can public drinking be part of the same Judaism that usually takes life so seriously? And more, what's this holiday of costumes and parties all about? In his usual candid style, Rabbi Kahn first gives a thorough introduction to Purim, then examines the sources of all the merrymaking, and concludes with a synopsis of the purpose of it under the surface, without our ending up under the table.

Until the nation of Amalek made its appearance, there was no such thing as an atheist. And why Amalek alone was not afraid to attack us after we left Mitzrayim? Rabbi Leff explains how the Jews overcome Haman during the time of the Purim story, and how by persevering we can see Hashem’s ‘hidden’ being, which sets our nation apart - both spiritually and physically.

During an era of pagan beliefs, Amalek stood out as the atheist among the world's inhabitants. Rabbi Leff's penetrating analysis of this people reveals two fundamental tenets of atheism and traces them back to it's source. Purim, symbolic of our struggle against this nation of evil, gives us two message: the importance of our existence and God̢s constant involvement in our lives.

MI 553
What is so miraculous about the Purim Story? Political intrigue flourished back in Persia as it does today, and just because Esther was in the right place at the right time, would we say it was a supernatural event? One job in this confusing exile is to find God watching us from behind the smokescreen of nature. Rabbi Milstein describes how the hand of God also appears within many of the normal events we encounter in life.

Why do we increase our joy in Adar? According to Chazal, why is there no limit to wine consumption on Purim? And what does all that wine accomplish anyway? In this fast-paced, multi-faceted talk, Rabbi Wagensberg goes through many questions on Purim, in general, and the megillah, in particular, to bring out numerous pearls about this wacky holiday.

It seems to us when we are in galus that we have to do everything just like the non-Jews. When the Jews in the Purim story went to Achashverosh's party, they did no aveiras, but they forgot who they were, which was even worse. Rabbi Weisz explains the nature of galus, assimilation, and holocaust, and how we can avoid the ensuing destruction. This in-depth look at the Purim story through the lens of anti-semitism and galus is fascinating. Don't miss it!
