Koren Megillat Esther Mesorat Harav

Megillat Esther Mesorat HaRav contains the commentary of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik on Megillat Esther and the Ma ariv service for Purim, collected from a variety of his published writings, notes and lectures. The Rav s philosophical acumen and Talmudic insight fruitfully combine to depict the complex nature of the Purim drama.

In addition to the Megilla and Ma ariv commentary, this volume also includes a section of Reshimot, containing the Rav s more extensive halachic analyses, and a derasha by the Rav on the nature of Purim. Megillat Esther Mesorat HaRav will be a welcome addition to Jewish libraries, both as an original perspective on the Purim holiday and as part of the growing body of the Rav s works.
