Family History: The Talmud on the Megillah, Lesson 48
This class focuses back in Jewish history to Jacob's family feud over a special wardrobe. Here the Talmud will teach us how the royal robes of Persia’s Purim-era Jewish Prime Minister were woven out of the very seams of a prized suit from Egypt’s only-ever Jewish Prime Minister. Ultimately, these ancient events of Joseph's sale by his own brothers, as well as his gift to Benjamin, presage the entire Purim story and empowered Mordechai, his direct descendant, to bring salvation to the nation! This Talmud class is on tractate Megillah page 16a-b.
