REDEMPTION SONGS ~ SCROLL OF ESTHER is an in-depth study series of the actual biblical verses comprising Megillat Esther that contains the canonical story of Purim.
___________________________________
Chapter Nine, Part Fourteen entitled: TAKE TWO opens the 27th verse of the chapter that tells us of the historical national embrace of the new holiday called Purim.
In the preceding Episodes we embarked on a full discovery of both name and theme. In addition to the literal explanations, we uncovered profound mystical, and spiritual dimensions of Purim.
Now, moving onto the next verse which narrates the confirmation of Purim for posterity by virtue of the Jewish people’s irrevocable acceptance of this holiday edict issued by our Prophets and Sages.
Of interest in the futuristically curious tense employed by the verse; incorporating generation yet born, as well as those who might eventually convert.
In the quest for a deeper understanding of that syntax, we will discover a fresh view of this unusually wondrous, yet not overtly miraculous story. Seeing it in against the panoramic backdrop of our Nation’s extraordinary saga allows up to appreciate its unique place in the sweep of history.
Here we will lift the veil to reveal the real subtext of Purim: beyond commemorating
G-d’s supranatural providence and delivery, the true message of Purim is about “We the People,” rather than “G-d our Savior!”
It was not merely and outstanding event of divinely orchestrated saving, but instead the completion of the process we started but never fully completed at Mount Sinai!
The Fourteenth Episode of Chapter Nine has been sponsored by Les and Iris Friedman to commemorate the Yahrzeit of Le’s father, Tzvi ben Yechiel HaLevi.
This important Episode comprises the fifty-seventh consecutive offering of an ongoing, in-depth discovery series on the biblical Scroll of Esther.
