Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author tells a personal story about Purim costumes and argues that the brilliance of Purim is that it understands how much of ourselves we hide, and that one way to reveal ourselves is to hide even further. The observance of Purim teaches us that masks often reveal more than they conceal and that the superficial is merely a means of exposing the profound.
