Nevuchadnetzar's Statue and Haman's Decree: Part 2 (An Approach)

This evening (3/9/22), in lieu of our usual "Chumash Exploration," we continued our Purim topic from last week. After reviewing our facts and questions, I shared my partially-developed-but-still-incomplete approach, which was based on the Abravanel's commentary on Daniel. We ended up developing this into an idea which we felt explained around 90% of the midrash, but didn't QUITE feel complete. The good news is that we emerged with a deeper insight into one of the major themes of Purim, as we had hoped. The other good news is that we have a nice problem to think about in the days leading up to Purim!
