Today is Taanis Esther, the fast of Esther. We learn how queen Esther prepared for her significant moment in the town of Shushan, as is told in the Purim story, and to commemorate her great act, we too fast. The Purim story is a tale of bravery, faith, and resilience. Queen Esther was willing to risk it all to save her Jewish people from being annihilated by the wicked Haman. The whole Purim story is found in the Megillah, named after Queen Esther, a scroll read on purim each year. We learn how Esther approached the King and risked her life for her people despite knowing what could happen if she failed. The brave actions of this Jewish heroine should inspire us to stand up for Hahsdem and what is genuinely right no matter what obstacles come our way. We must never forget that purim is more than just a holiday filled with costumes and parties; it's an opportunity to remember the strength of the Jewish people and the heroic actions of holy Jews of that generation. We must never forget that Purim reminds us of our heritage, courage, and faith. Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!---------------- SUBSCRIBE to The Weekly Parsha for an insightful weekly talk on the week's Parsha.
