    Adar Bet: Megillat Esther’s Message for this Moment

    Adar Bet: Megillat Esther’s Message for this Moment

    Karen and her guest Rachel Sharansky Danziger discuss the resonance of Megillat Esther for Israel and the Jewish world today. They look to Esther and Rachel's parents Avital and Natan Sharansky for inspiration about the plight of the hostages and how to deal with adversity. As we begin Chodesh Adar we pray for a safe return of all the hostages, healing for the injured, and that light and joy return to Am Yisrael in the month of Adar.

Wonderful Gift

Thanks for this great podcast - it takes me back to the days of learning from Shani in Midreshet Lindenbaum. It’s substantive, but short enough to fit into a busy schedule. This is self-care at its best!
