Length: 1 hour 5 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (3/22/24), in our Machshavah Lab series for women, we continued learning through the Ralbag's toalos, continuing at the beginning of Chapter 4 and concluding Chapter 5. Whereas many of the toalos we discussed last time seemed ancillary to the main ideas of the story, the toalos we read today showcase the righteousness and strategic wisdom of Mordechai and Esther, and highlight some of the major themes of the megilah. My admiration and appreciation for the decisions made by Mordechai and Esther has never been higher. Next year (בג"ה) we'll aim to finish the toalos of the Ralbag on Megilas Esther!
