Rabbi Nachman Kahana Rabbi Nachman Kahana is an Orthodox Rabbinic Scholar, Rav of Chazon Yechezkel Synagogue Young Israel of the Old City of Jerusalem, Founder and Director of the Center for Kohanim, and Author of the 14-volume Mei Menuchot series on Tosefot, With All Your Might: The Torah of Eretz Yisrael in the Weekly Parashah, as well as weekly parasha commentary available where he blogs at http://NachmanKahana.com In Tractate Yoma 5b, the Talmud points out a contradiction regarding the sanctified priestly garments. In parasha Tetzaveh it appears that Aharon with his eight garments and each of his sons with their respective four garments, donned their priestly garb with the last piece of apparel, the Avnet (the waistband), put on simultaneously; whereas in Parashat Tzav (Book of Vayikra) it appears that only after Aharon donned all of his garments did his sons begin putting on theirs.

The Megillah begins with an account of the grand ball he threw in the third year of his reign[iii]

If anything was clear during the Purim celebrations of my childhoodand Ill be honest, between the costumes and groggers and carnival vibe, not much was clearit was this: No one wanted to be Vashti. Whatever grown person played her in the Purimspiel was usually dressed like a caricature of a prostitute. Even worse, at least to me, who loved to act, almost as soon as Vashti entered she was gone

Like Eddie Jacobson, God is calling on each of us, saying there is something only we can do. Our Sages asked a strange question in the Talmud: Where do we find a hint in the Torah to the Book of Esther? The Talmud (Chullin 39b) answers with the words, vanochi haster astir panai, I will hide my face on that day.
