God's Withdrawal vs. Hester Panim

Following up from last week's Little Aleph, we move to the Large Taf of the last chapter of the Book of Esther, which points to the last revelation of prophecy according to the rabbis. We then move on to discuss the source for Esther in the Torah being divine hiddenness and compare the positions of David Weiss Halivni and Aviva Zornberg in their approach to the absent Divine in times of crisis.
