I once heard a rabbi say that the way to understand the Megillah is to read it as burlesque. It’s a ridiculously funny story.

A while back, we had a Purim party for our grown up friends. We ate, we drank, and we read this megillah that I adapted, following the rabbi’s teaching, from a translation by Mordecai Housman. It was a lot of fun.
