Two Cooked Foods and a Friend: The Re-Acceptance of Torah on Purim

L’Ilui Nishmat R’ Yitzchak Kirzner

Why do we read Parshat Zachor on Shabbos and not on Purim itself? What was the nature of Amalek’s threat against the Jews? What does it teach us about anti-semitism today? When we are vulnerable to our enemies there is a reason. Why is there a renewal of the Matan Torah experience in the wake of the threat of Haman?

How do mishloach manot and matanot l’evyonim serve to counter Amalek?
