Rabbi Norman Lamm
Purim is one of the most festive days on the Jewish calendar, but the trappings of joy and merrymaking mask a more serious message. Join Rabbi Norman Lamm as he thoughtfully reveals the underlying themes of Megillat Esther and the Purim holiday. OU Press and RIETS/Yeshiva University Press are proud to offer Rabbi Lamm's unique and eloquent insights into Torah, human nature, God's role in history, the relation of God and humankind, and other timeless themes.
This compelling commentary consists of Rabbi Norman Lamm's insights on Megillat Esther and the Purim holiday, as well as on Tefillat Ma'ariv, the evening prayer service, gleaned from the vast corpus of his oral and written offerings. Together with several complete derashot on other days of thanksgiving, this new presentation of Rabbi Lamm's thought provides a broad canvas on which Rabbi Lamm portrays, in his inimitable style, God's repeated salvation of His people, a salvation which is sometimes clear and bold, at others times ambiguous and obscure. The holiday of Purim takes on new and deeper meaning with Rabbi Lamm's keen insight and nuanced perspective.
