Look Inside

The Me'Am lo'ez on Esther is a unique book. It reads like a novel, but it is actually an anthology of over 2000 years of commentary on this most popular story. Drawing from over 130 different sources represent some of Jewry's greatest minds, the author weaves the commentary into the story. Rather than plowing through the many difficult texts, the reader enjoys the story as presented by these great masters. The reader is transported to the court of the Persian Empire 2500 years ago, with all its intrigues and power plays. He hears Haman's fierce denunciation of the Jews, as well as Esther's passionate plea for her people. It is all here-the love, the hate, the terror, and the joy-not as imagined by a novelist, but as analyzed from the text itself by the great Jewish teachers of the Bible. Translated by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.
