Purim affirms Esther’s stand against official silencing, abuse of power, misogyny and anti-Semitism. At first an outsider, Queen Esther used her insider power to reveal and thwart official hatred that threatened Jewish life and safety. We celebrate one woman’s courageous cunning to right grievous wrongs within corrupt systems. The archetype of heroic woman standing against hatred continues to call out every society still wrestling with official misogyny, power abuses and silencing. For every official silencing and every threat to equality and freedom, may we all live the lesson of Esther and all who stand in her shoes: “Nevertheless, she persisted.” Categories: Tags: 21st century C.E., 58th century A.M., Cantillated readings in English, civil rights, social justice, tropified texts, צדק צדק תרדוף tsedeq tsedeq tirdof, United States, Women's History Month Contributor(s): The Megillah of Esther: An Original English Rendition (set to trop) by Ḥazzan Jack Kessler was first published in 1990.

In addition, it borrows quotations from the Targums, and Maimonides[2] and Kabbalistic writings (Oesterley & Box 1920), and in this aspect is unique among the various midrashic collections. This important work—the largest of the midrashic collections—came to popular attention only relatively recently (late 19th century) through the efforts of Jacob Saphir, Solomon Schecter, and David Zvi Hoffman. In addition to containing midrashic material that is not found elsewhere, such as the Mekhilta of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, the Midrash HaGadol contains what are considered to be more correct versions of previously known Talmudic and Midrashic passages.” (via wikipedia) Categories: Tags: anatomical, cosmological, cosmology, creation, Early Medieval, Homo Signorum, macranthropy, Man of Signs, microcosm, microcosmism, mid-first millennium CE, Midrash HaGadol, ספר יצירה Sefer Yetsirah, פרשת תרומה parashat Terumah, Tabernacle, המשכן the Mishkan Contributor(s): | ||
