Get StartedIn Search of Purim's Meaning: How Much Does Esther Matter? (Part 2 of 4)
Why Is It Called Purim & What Does It Refer To?
In this second video Rabbi Fohrman continues to explore the significance behind naming this important Jewish holiday "Purim." He takes a closer look at Mordechai's words to Esther before she is to confront the King and shows that these words are really an echo from an earlier story in the Bible - a story that sheds important light on what is really going on in the Purim story.
