Glimpses of Light

Megillas Esther:
Ancient story or present-day reality?
Coincidence or miracle?
Darkness or Glimpses of Light?

The oppressed Jewish nation faces complete annihilation, but is miraculously saved by an
unexpected series of natural events. Was the chain of changes a string of natural
coincidences and events, or was it a medley of masterfully orchestrated miracles? Is the
Purim story a one-time occurrence? Or is there a deeper, timeless message hidden within
this ancient account?
In Glimpses of Light, Rabbi Yehudah Steinberg, delves into Megillas Esther and extracts
the underlying messages hidden in the seemingly straightforward Purim story. Presenting
the words of Chazal, midrashim, parables, and anecdotes in a lucid fashion, the author
brings home the profound relevance of the Megillah’s lessons for us, even today, so that
we can truly appreciate the concept of hashgachah pratis and discover a fresh inspiration
for trust in Hashem.
An invaluable sourcebook for rabbis, educators, and laymen alike, this enlightening and
inspiring book is vital for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of and appreciation
for Megillas Esther and a more meaningful Purim experience.
