The Party That Almost Killed UsHow Food, Tzedakah, and Responsibility Rebuilt a Nation Marked for Death

This shiur explores a central question about Purim:

Why are Mishloach Manos and Matanos La’Evyonim essential to the story?

The Megillah makes sense.

The seudah makes sense.

But why food gifts and charity?

In this class, we unpack how Purim is not just a celebration of survival—it is the rebuilding of a nation that was spiritually fragmented and marked for destruction.

This shiur was given in the Simon home in Skokie, Illinois.
