Why I Wrote the Gilded Cage (39:59)
Of all biblical stories, the story of Esther is the best-known and, arguably, the most misunderstood. Queen Esther is a heroine often portrayed in a superficial, two-dimensional manner. As a result, her full story remains untold. Mrs. Sorele Brownstein has mined the rich Jewish tradition of biblical interpretation to shed light on a figure whose true heroism is often overlooked

Does God Slumber When We Sleep? (55:13)
Megillas Esther was written under the influence of the Spirit of G-d. Rabbi Avrohom Bergstein discusses the essential bond that G-d has with a Jew. The point of the needle, where it has no dimensions, is like the point of contact where G-d knocks on the door of the Jewish soul. Being an infinite point, connecting to the infinity of G-d, there is no element of time.
