Show Notes

Talmud Tisch: Intermediate Talmud Masechet Megillah Daf/Page 13a Despite our Purim heroine's attempts to keep a low profile, the Royal Eunice responsible for the Kings Harem was captivated by Esther. Under Mordechai's strictest instructions she strove to maintain absolute ethnic anonymity – which significantly complicated the keeping of a kosher diet. On the heels of the discussion about the peculiar palace menu, we move into the spa for intense and risky mandated beauty treatments. After clarifying cosmetics on a literal level, we conclude with deeply mystical and beautiful spiritual makeover messages they subtly convey – ultimately shedding light on the food fiasco as well!
