1 Throwing good parties and building community (w/ Priya Parker) 38:16
S3 Ep. 5 Esther as the Redeemer of the Garden of Eden
Manage episode 470446578 series 3443418
In this final episode of the season, Rabbi Fohrman and Imu explore how Esther's narrative offers a redeemed perspective on Adam and Eve's story. Delving into Esther's courageous moments before King Achashverosh, Rabbi Fohrman highlights her heroism while challenging the simplistic view of Esther as merely a master manipulator. Instead, Rabbi Fohrman suggests a deeper understanding of Esther's character—one that transcends conventional morality grounded in objectivity and power. As they reflect on these insights, the conversation prompts a profound question: Could our true moral compass be rooted in our most intimate impulse—the impulse to love?
