March 13, 2012 - Torah Alive: Esther's Fast - Her Act of Self-Empowerment
In the story of Purim, Esther develops from one who is without power or influence to a saving-the-day heroine. Together we will study why fasting was a transformative act for her, as we learn more about this well known narrative.
