A Soulful Journey

A man applied to become a lion tamer as a job. At his interview he was told to enter the cage. “But what will I do if he lunges at me?” exclaimed the young man. “Just crack the hip and he will retreat. But if that does not work take the chair and shove it toward the lion.  If that does not work take some manure and throw it at his face.” “Where will I get manure from?” “Don’t worry.  It will be there.” - Rabbi Colin Eimer

The Talmud has a long discussion on the sanctity of the book of Esther. They concluded, “ They confirmed in heaven what was accepted on earth.” In other words, the Bible, Torah, is a living document, which we are supposed to read, reread, debate and interpret.
