Hidden Script of your Life (Purim) (1:30:34)
One of the Purim story's most notable aspects is the fact the G-d is not mentioned once throughout the Megillah. Jewish mysticism teaches that during the events of Purim, G-d was concealed within natural events even more than usual. With this piece of wisdom, Rabbi Simon Jacobson shows us how we can see G-d hidden in the events of our own lives as well.
