Alan Radecki leads our celebration of Purim. The worship will lift our hearts before the Lord. We have a special worship-in-dance presentation, we read through portions of the book of Esther in a special “Reader’s Theater” format, and use our "groggers."
One of the peculiarities of the book of Esther is that there is no explicit mention of the name of God, nor of God himself. While at the outset this might strike us as odd, upon further reflection it serves to reinforce one of the book's major points, the veracity or trustworthiness of God and his word.
The omission of God's name and reference to God himself in the book of Esther underscores what God had foretold Moses would come upon His people: He would hide his presence from them as judgment for their sin.
The events of Purim reveal that while Israel may forget their God, God will not forget Israel. In the book of Esther, he acts behind the scenes unseen through his providence and sovereignty to demonstrate his love for and faithfulness to his Chosen People.
