Redemption to Redemption

Based on the book Redemption to Redemption by Rabbi Pinchas Winston, these lectures examine the deep connection between the holidays of Purim and Pesach. Even though Purim occurred after the close of the Torah, nevertheless, it is our preparation for the holiday of Pesach. If one understands the true opportunity of Purim, and takes advantage of it, then he will be in better position to experience the redemptive power of Pesach. And, to this, we must first better understand the story of Yosef and his brothers, as it relates to the Mishkan. Listen Now.
