Megillah ShIur# 71 YCQ - Feb 10, 2026 - Was Esther beautiful? Was Rachav a prostitute? Was Daniel in the government? How does one inform a person about a bad occurence? Is it ideal to always daven at the same time? Why does fasting help before praying? Was it proper for Esther to offer herself to the king in order to save the Jewish people? When did the Jews in Shushan fast for three days? What was the nature of the holidays in Megilas Ta'anis? Why should one fast on a yartzeit? How did the learning in Eretz Yisrael differ to the learning in Bavel? Does one need to show respect to an evil king? Does kibud av apply to an evil father? Why did Esther invite Haman to the dinner?
