Send me a text!</a>Length: 1 hour 23 minutes Synopsis: Tonight (3/6/25), in lieu of our Thursday night Pirkei Avos shiur for women, we continued learning the Ralbag's toalos ("beneficial lessons") on Megilas Esther, picking up were we left off last year, at the beginning of Chapter 6. Unlike last year, in which we JUST read the Ralbag, we decided to read and discuss the pesukim this year before learning the toeles. This resulted in a slower pace, but (I hope!) a richer learning experience. We only got through five toalos, but we delved into them deeper than we did last year, and came away with some really sharp insights into the Megilah and some nice practical applications. ----- מקורות: Neima Novetsky's translation of Megillas Esther on AlHaTorah.org רלב"ג - אסתר פרק ו, תועלות ל"ה-מ רד"ק - תהלים קטז:יד רש"י - אסתר ו:ט Erica Brown, "Esther: Power, Fate, and Fragility in Exile" ----- The Torah content for this week has been sponsored by Rifka Kaplan-Peck in tribute to the Bibas family.
