The Babylonia Talmud is an immense collection of laws, practices,
and customs of the Jewish people, edited in its present form in the
fifth century. Tractate Megilla (literally, 'scroll') concerns a
deep exegesis of the history and customs of the holiday of Purim,
when the Jewish people in ancient Persia were saved through the
intervention of Queen Esther at the last minute from extermination
by the wicked Haman. It is a holiday of gaiety and commemoration.
The Talmud is often extremely difficult to understand, and tractate
Megilla is no exception. The Whole Megilla is an effort to explain
the text, page by page, for interested readers. It affords the
reader an opportunity to capture the flavor of the Talmud and
follow the notoriously demanding text.
