Purim Discovered [Hardcover]

Purim Discovered
By: Naphtali Winter

Product Description
What is the significance of the month of Adar?
In which cities is the Megillah read four times instead of the usual four?


Why does the Talmud apparently praise drunkenness on Purim, when in general it frowns on this behavior?

Rabbi Naphtali Winter explores the laws and customs of Purim and the month of Adar, plumbing the depths of their reasons, origins, and rami- fications. Follow his journey into the ancient sources to learn about the four parshiyos, the Purim rav, and the various Purim Sheini celebrations, as well as the stories behind them.

Despite the anti-Semitism that is still rife in the world, the Jewish people continue to thrive, whether through appar- ently natural events or by openly miraculous ones. In Pu- rim Discovered, you’ll learn the secrets of our nation’s Purim practices across the ages — and how they connect us to the miracles of our very existence.
