Megilot Esther-Printed
Available in Hebrew Only
In all the stories of the Bible there are messages hidden beneath the surface, but it seems that there is no other book like the Book of Esther, in which the hidden prevails over the revealed. The uniqueness of the scroll is reflected in the scope of the concealments and especially in what they seek to conceal. In the hand of an artist, Grossman reveals what is hidden within the verses of the Book of Esther and reveals all to the reader.

The commentary of Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch to the Chumash is based on his interpretative method of precise elucidation of the text and meaning of the words.
His grandson, Rav Dr. Raphael Breuer, applied this same method for his commentary to Megillas Esther, and has brought to light these timeless words in an original, inspiring fashion. This English is written in a modern, clear idiom and will attract scholar and student alike.
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.
