Without a doubt, the Jewish holidays are the high points of the Jewish calendar. Purim is no exception, with its whirlwind of Megillah reading, skits, costumes, mishloach manot, and general frenetic activity bordering on the frivolous. Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm, Chancellor and former President of 扣扣传媒, has been sensitizing the Jewish community to deeper levels of meaning within the holidays for years, and his new book, , a commentary on Megillat Esther, searches for the deeper meaning of Purim that lies beneath all the fun and frolic.
Majesty and Mystery is a compelling contemporary commentary consisting of Rabbi Lamm鈥檚 insights on Megillat Esther and the Purim holiday, gleaned from the vast corpus of his oral and written offerings. Rabbi Lamm鈥檚 commentary combines his Talmudic erudition with his renowned eloquence, creating a commentary that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally rewarding. Together with several complete derashot on other 鈥渄ays of thanksgiving,鈥 this new presentation of Rabbi Lamm鈥檚 thought provides a broad canvas on which he portrays, in his inimitable style, God鈥檚 repeated salvation of His people鈥攁 salvation which is sometimes clear and bold, at others times ambiguous and obscure. The holiday of Purim takes on new and deeper meaning with Rabbi Lamm鈥檚 keen insight and nuanced perspective, and Majesty and Mystery constitutes a veritable treasure trove of profound insights and inspiring teachings.
