   Rabbi Moshe Taragin | 17 minutes

   This shiur examines the significance of dispatching letters - a newly implemented advancement for a vast empire - and the fear experienced by the Jews after hearing Haman's edict of destruction.

There is a sickening feeling as the advanced technology of the day is being used against them.

How do we relate to this statement? How can we look at these concepts in the light of modern technology in a way that elevates our relationship with God?
