Get StartedHaman And The Tree Of Knowledge: EPILOGUE (Part 7 of 7)
Could You Become Haman? Understanding the Path to Darkness
In this epilogue to the series Purim: Redeeming The Sin Of Eden, Rabbi Fohrman finishes by going back to the Gemara originally discussed – the piece of Talmud that hints to the names of the protagonists in the Megillah within the Five Books of Moses – and looks for words that sound like the other people's names. We've been talking about Hamin Ha'etz – but what of the other characters of the Megillah? If we found great meaning in the allusion to Haman in the Torah, is there meaning to be found in the allusions to Esther or Mordechai?
Join Rabbi Fohrman as he inspects what the Sages say about these people, and explores whether these three discussions of the Gemara are related to each other.
