Show Notes

Talmud Tisch: Intermediate Talmud Masechet Megillah “The Crown” Learning lessons from the otherwise lascivious monarch’s modesty, and the miraculous nature of Esther’s unintended charisma – along with surprisingly salacious intimate details of their carnal relationship, an ironic narrative emerges. Revealing the backstage story of how the one woman who didn’t want it, won the crown, despite never intending to do so. This rich story of royally rewarding unintended consequences captures the imagination and serves as an inspiration as the ancient yet eternally relevant details of the Purim story powerfully resonate today! (Tractate Megillah 13a)
