Amazing class

First time on Rabbi Moshe New's class. I simply loved it! Clear, deep and a lesson for life and to understand our purpose in life. I myself at the end, got so happy to be created as a woman (sorry to say that). More than ever. Hashem's ways are perfect... Even when everything appears to be hiden... It is all revealed. We have to keep studying. Wish the day would be longer...PURIM SAMEACH and Yasher Koach!

How the Megillah Became Part of the Bible

I found this lecture very interesting. I belong to a Reconstructionist congregation, and even though our mode of celebration is different than that of the Chabad, it is basically the same.
