	Taanit Esther
		Moreover, the Raavad states that Taanit Esther is an integral component of the enactment to observe Purim.
		He believes that the source for Taanit Esther is the Gemara (Megila 2a), which describes the thirteenth of Adar as "a time for all to gather." Rashi interprets this phrase as referring to the historical event of the Jews gathering to defend themselves from those expected to implement Haman's decree.
		Taanit Esther is mournful because it is designated to recall the precarious position the Jews found themselves in on the thirteenth of Adar as they prepared themselves for battle.

		So what I think I'm going to do is present a line or a few lines, depending, and then leave space for discussion, and then the next day I'll assess whether it's a good point to introduce the next line or wait another day.

	God Dwelling on Earth Below
		Some years ago, while teaching Jewish Ethics at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, I gave my students a difficult assignment: They were to go through an entire day without talking.
