Show Notes
Purim is the holiday where HaShem’s Name never appears in the Megilah— and yet His Presence is everywhere. In this Breakfast & a Class, we explore the hidden codes in Megillat Esther, the quiet orchestration behind what looks like coincidence, and the powerful truth that Divine Providence does not replace human action — it waits for it. From Esther’s courageous “כַּאֲשֶׁר אָבַדְתִּי אָבָדְתִּי” to the hidden Shem HaShem embedded in the text itself, we uncover how the Megillah trains us to see the Hand behind the curtain.
But Purim is not only about seeing — it is about stepping forward. Through two unforgettable real-life stories — one of mesirut nefesh that shaped generations, and another of breathtaking precision involving a simple Shabbat muffin — we confront the deeper message of the day: the strings of history are already in place, but they move when we do. Hashgachah is real. Participation is required.
