Shnayim Mikra v'Echad Targum During Kriyas HaTorah

Days of Deliverance: Essays on Purim and Hannukah

OU Press

Purim and Hanukkah share a rabbinic origin, a festive character, and a generally informal nature. In the essays collected here, both holidays serve as subtext for Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's classic search for religious meaning in a seemingly cold and arbitrary universe.
