Secrets of the Scroll - Introduction - Unmasking the Megillah – History, Canon, and Concealment

What if Megillat Esther is not the most hidden book in Tanakh, but the most brilliantly written one? We are launching a powerful 20 episode podcast series hosted by Rabbanit Shani Taragin that uncovers Esther as a text written in code. A story where God is hidden, miracles are quiet, and redemption unfolds through courage, strategy, and deep biblical memory. In the first episode, Shani sets the stage. Why God’s name never appears. Why Esther almost did not enter the canon. And how Jews in exile learned to speak in allusions instead of open theology. This is not a surface level Purim series. It is a journey into the inner language of Tanakh and into the heart of what it means to survive, believe, and interpret. Watch the first episode and follow the full series.
