Questions About This Episode
What is Special Episode: For Such a Time as This: Purim, Persia, and the Iran War about?
Missiles in the sky. Purim on the calendar. As Israel confronts Iran, Noam steps back from the headlines and turns to the Book of Esther, a story of genocide threatened, courage summoned, and history reversed at just the right moment. From ancient Persia to October 7th, Jewish history has followed a pattern: catastrophe, response, rebuilding. This episode is not a news update. It is a reflection on timing, resilience, unity, and what it means to live through history. Do we respond with sackcloth, or with action? For such a time as this.
