Ma’ayanot’s 10th annual family learning night was held on Tuesday evening, March 1. The evening began with a festive Chinese dinner, during which students and their parents learned in chavruta to prepare for a shiur by Mrs. Yael Weil, Halacha teacher, on the topic “Two’s Company, Three’s a Crowd…Understanding Esther’s Guest List.” Using source sheets prepared by Mrs. Weil, students and their parents worked to understand Esther’s rationale for inviting Haman to dinner rather than asking for a private meal with Achashverosh. In her shiur, Mrs. Weil analyzed the sources to help participants emerge with a better understanding of how Esther’s wisdom ultimately led to our salvation.
