The "Megillah" of Esther
I didn't hear him say this but is Rabbi YY also suggesting that the word "Megillah" itself also insinuate another meaning of its letters - meaning revelation (גלוי), as in revealing (מגילת) that the hidden (אסתר) is G-d?

Thank you for your class today. I really appreciated it. I got super triggered.

Every purim at megillah i am horrified again what happened to esther. I get it that she passed with flying colors and she had no shame.

But how could Hashem let her be raped for years on end living with a rasha and a maniac.

I’m still in middle of listening to the Shiur. It’s very interesting!

  I enjoyed it, too! Just opened to share with a friend.
  
  It is a Chirik, since it's a command. Kisvuni - write me (also kiv'uni)
  
  With a Kumatz it's Avar, they wrote me.
  
  Although when publishing something that will be read, it's important to double check Dikduk, speaking is different. It's okay for speakers to have these types of small Dikduk mistakes.
