Talmud Tisch - Intermediate Talmud Masechet Megillah Daf/Page - 16b - Class # 50 Returning to expounding the actual verses of the Megillah, we focus on the stirring statement encapsulating the triumphant reversal of the Purim Miracle: From Darkness (emblematic of the fasting and mourning) we moved to Light, instead of Crying and Wailing we had Happiness and Joy Gladness, and in the place of Sackcloth and Ashes there was Glory and Honour! Delving deeply into the Megillah's superlative string of uplifting euphemism describing the Miracle Aftermath, here, many rich ideas will be presented. After elucidating each detail on its own with a variety of fascinating sources, we return to discover overarching common themes. This teaching will demonstrate how a solitary biblical verse -- spanning Spiritual Illumination to Covenantal Connections, our annual Holidays to Awe-inspiring Ornamentation --- reveals much about the Yiddishkiet at large, and ultimately encapsulates its very essence!
