Ep. 7 Digging Out: Zachor—Remembering Amalek
Sunday, 5 March, 2023
This week is Purim! A celebration that dates back 2500 years to the story of Esther ad the Jewish victory over the evil Haman. In this episode we talk about the Hebrew words, Zachor. It means, "remember." There are two major events where G-D acutely dials in with exact precision the collective conscience of remembrance: Israel's exodus from Egypt, and Israel's encounter with Amalek. The book of Esther is center stage to G-D's commandment to "remember what Amalek did to you along the way." What can we learn from the story of Esther and upcoming holiday of Purim that we might not know or that isn't obvious in the story itself? Like and share, Hadas
