From the Desk of Rabbi Yaakov FischThis week we celebrate the conclusion of studyingMaseches Taanis and immediately began studyingMaseches Megillah. The transition from Taanis toMegillah reminded me of the transitions of TaanisEsther to Purim. Taanis Esther or the Fast Esther isa rather unique fast on the Jewish calendar as itdoes not commemorate anything tragic or something that requires mourning. The purpose ofTaanis Esther is to recall how effective the power of prayer can be in times of distress. Esthertold Mordechai that before she can reach out to the King, she needs the Jewish Nation to pourtheir hearts out in fasting and prayers. Mordechai heeded this request and organized a massgathering of prayer. Ultimately, G-d listened to these prayers and Esther was successful in hermission. The Fast of Esther is observed to remind us of this powerful lesson. When we are in acrisis or in times of distress, G-d is always available and attentive to our prayers.
