    Episode 7: THE Queen- Esther according to the midrash.

    (Some EXPLICIT Content) I re-introduce myself after my long hiatus and discuss: who was Queen Esther? Why is she so important? What do I take away from her story? With Purim (almost) here, get to know a little more about this strong Prophetess who's the whole reason for this holiday, on International Women's Day 2020. *My apologies for the technical difficulties with the audio on this recording-as always keeping this podcast unedited and rolling so that I can bring you this episode.* Happy Purim to all!
