Megillat Esther Mesorat HaRav  contains the commentary of Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik on Megillat Esther and the Ma’ariv service for Purim, collected from a variety of his published writings, notes and lectures. The Rav’s philosophical acumen and Talmudic insight fruitfully combine to depict the complex nature of the Purim drama. In addition to the Megilla and Ma’ariv commentary, this volume also includes a section of Reshimot, containing the Rav’s more extensive halachic analyses, and a derasha by the Rav on the nature of Purim.  Megillat Esther Mesorat HaRav  will be a welcome addition to Jewish libraries, both as an original perspective on the Purim holiday and as part of the growing body of the Rav’s works.
